    "content": "clear. It has to be somebody with 15 years of experience, some legal background and so on and so forth. In the hands of such a person, those funds which are meant for people who are not able to manage what is left behind by people who died without leaving behind a will or people who have just gone missing, as it is very common these days, will be safe. Another very important aspect of this amendment which has really impressed me is provision for Public Trustee Investment Board. It is not just a matter of managing what is there but it also creates provision for that Board to invest in viable business enterprises and grow the Fund for the benefit of the beneficiaries stipulated in the Act. For me and especially the constituency I represent and many others, we have people who go missing these days. We are unable to determine what we should do with the wills that they leave behind especially from the time we started having this issue of terrorism and some people being picked and they go missing. We have so many families which are suffering. There are properties which are left behind. The old law does not provide for how the estate should be administered. I am glad that the Government has noted this and has made provision for missing persons and the properties that they leave behind to be administered by Public Trustee. Another very interesting aspect of the proposed amendment is replacing the terms which were used in the old Act. Terms like “lunatic”. In this age, it should not be used to refer to any human being. We need to be sensitive to people who are mentally challenged. I appreciate that part. I stand to support this amendment. Thank you."
