    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Again in Clause 34 on the issue on newspapers I have made comments in relation to that. I also thank the Minister for Clause 39 on the issue of outstanding rates and other charges, so that we do not con Kenyans when they are buying land. That already has been done. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want the Minister to move an amendment to Clause 45 (d) where the Minister talks of “where applicable, a marriage certificate---” and again you have put marriage certificate. Other than the repetition, this will be the business of lawyers to define what you mean by, “where applicable”. What is applicable? I would want to bring to the Minister’s attention Clause 49 in relation to children especially whose parents have died. The court must appoint a guardian and create a list of persons, especially from civil society organizations that are working for children, because we have so many cases where children are being defrauded especially by lawyers. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because of time I want to mention other areas where I will be moving amendments; Clause 51, Clause 52, section of properties which Martha spoke to, future leases should take into account the rights of children, Clause 57, Clause 58 (2) you need to specify time lines for payments, the Minister should also specify Clause 68 and why we are not entering any particulars of any trust in the register especially in relation to children and women. The rest I think I leave to my amendments because I have quite many. However, I would say in summary that there is need for a lot of civic education. Again on matrimonial property, I have a lot to say in terms of definition of tenancy, co-tenancy and what you define by labour which would include child bearing labour. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, do not give too much burden to the lender. Again, on Clause 95 (4) do not put a burden on the lender. Ensure that there is a form and do not make it discretionally that you may require somebody to seek information of the spouse. It must be by way of a form. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
