    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are guided by the courts and the court was actually a little mean in the case of Echaria where Mr. Echaria, who was an ambassador and his wife left the country. Mrs. Echaria left her work here in Kenya – she was a lawyer – and went off to serve with the ambassador for many years. She was a very good ambassadorial wife; she did her wifely duties, but when it came to sharing property, the Court of Appeal decided that her contribution was only 25 per cent. Although she had given up her own job a lawyer in this country to go and serve with the husband, the Court of Appeal did not think that her contribution was enough to guarantee her equal share in the marriage. So, as we pass this Bill, we are alive to such cases and they have been many."
