    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. This being my maiden speech, I thank the people of Rongo Constituency who overwhelmingly voted me into office because of the trust they have in me. When I was doing campaigns, I had the opportunity to go through the constituency. I had the opportunity to see the challenges that my people have, and the kind of livelihoods they have. As I pledged during the campaign period, I would like to given an undertaking to my constituents that I will live to my pledges and ensure that during my five-year period I contribute to improving their livelihoods and their welfare. Back to the Bill, I support it specifically because it tends to reduce the time taken to administer the estate of the deceased. I have seen cases where widows and orphans suffer not because they do not have property or money they can use but just because they do not know where the money is, or there is nobody to administer that property on their behalf so that they can get out of problems. I support the Bill also because of the amendment on Section 25, which will compel production of documents. We have seen many cases where a person who was in the process of buying property passes on. When that happens, the person who was selling that property might want to hide it from his beneficiaries. I am happy that the amendment in Section 25 will compel production of documents to assist in the administration of the estate."
