    "content": " Thank you very much. Hon. Temporary Speaker. This Petition belies a very fundamental issue that we may miss by thinking only about the estate tax or estate duty. It is about how do we, as a country, going forward appreciate people who have led this country? How do we appreciate our heroes? How do we treat them? How do we provide for them? It is not about the estate duty. As much as I would not support any exemption of taxation for anybody, a way must be found. I would like to ask the Committee concerned that as they look at this Petition, they should widen their scope. In terms of what was the reason first of all? It cannot be only about estates or taxes. We can honour our leaders through other means without discriminating against the rest of the Kenyans. I want to request the Committee concerned that this glaring discrimination must go away, but we must get a way of honouring our leaders."
