    "content": "I support this Bill because the matrimonial home is to be left to the wife and children. In our context and in our African culture, the matrimonial home is a very sanctified home. It is the home where the family sets up. Even as we look at marriages and as we look at going forward; I think it is good that the law does recognize the very value of a matrimonial home. Also the very value of keeping children in a life that they have been used to; of keeping them in schools that they been going to and a life that they have been accustomed to. Therefore, the matrimonial home does receive its special contribution and special consideration as the Matrimonial Property Act is being passed and is being discussed by this House. The other thing that has come in with this Bill is the recognition of domestic labour by women of this country. We do have many women out there in this country working and tilling the land and cultivating and pulling their weight in terms of building the economy. Our women are hard working; no doubt. Women from Nyeri County that I represent and women in many other counties in this country do work and work day and night."
