    "content": "(Hon. (Ms.) Catherine Nanjala Wambilianga): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak in this House and more so, to give my maiden speech. I have patiently waited and finally, I have caught your eye. Thank you. Before I support the Bill, I want to begin by thanking the people of Bungoma for unanimously giving me this opportunity to serve as their Woman Representative. I do not take that for granted. I know I will do my best when it comes to delivering the service to them. I wish to support the Public Trustee (Amendment) Bill. It is an amendment to the Bill that has been there for some time and has been in existence for over decades. This is a Bill that looks into the compensation of funds to the people who deserve it, the beneficiaries of the departed loved ones. Women suffer most in this context. Where I come from, the succession law has never served the women respectfully. It has taken years and decades for anything to be passed until it gets to the right hands. Bearing in mind that there is the polygamous aspect in the background, whenever somebody passes on and the people in question go to claim whatever is supposed to be given to them, it has never come by on time. I believe this Bill has come at the right time. Whatever amendments will fix this problem will be factored in to enable beneficiaries of deceased persons get the funds on time.
