Temporary Deputy Chairman, my problem is that, this is a law that is meant for all Kenyans. In the way, it will carry each and every section of our society. I do not want to have Section 48 as a safeguard for me. I want, as we go through this law up to Clause 2, issues of the Islamic faith to appear in that law. For example, in Clause 2 of that law, I am bringing you a definition of what Islamic Marriage is and what mahari is. Many people might not know what mahari is. But for many years to come, I want this law to carry that definition. Clause 48 is giving me a safeguard that if anything within this Act is not consistent with Islamic law, then that law does not affect us. This is a House that is making laws. So, I want mahari in the same Act . So, I will be very comfortable if all my amendments are discussed one by one."}
