    "content": "remember the Land Act that collapsed the various pieces of legislation on land that were existing then, like Government Lands Act, Registered Land Act and Registration of Titles Act. They were all collapsed into one piece of legislation. Madam Temporary Speaker, however, we forgot as a country to review the law of succession. I am glad that this is the first attempt for us to modernise the Law of Succession. We shall all die and be subject to the Law of Succession. I would imagine that it is something that touches on every Kenyan out there. When a person dies in terms of the process, the Law of Succession sets out the process that one has to undertake before this process is finalised. You have to take an introductory letter from the chief and a copy of the death certificate. You have to annex what we call documents that prove ownership of those properties initio. If it is land, search documents, a copy of the sure certificate, logbook and then you start. You lodge, go to Kenya Gazette, letters of administration, then, go to confirmation of grant. Madam Temporary Speaker, I would urge my sister. Look at that process and see how we can improve on it. When you look at this Act, it only touches on the substantive provisions of the Law of Succession. There are many areas a good practicing lawyer can advise on how we can improve on matters procedure. We make it a little bit easier and affordable, so that matters succession do not stay for long in court."
