    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Sen. Malalah actually appeared so. Some of us who are fortunate enough to have legal background know that there are succession matters that are very contentious, for example, when parentage of people and relationships are not clear. When we all pass on at some particular time, what we leave behind may be worse than the Third World War. Therefore, it is important for people to be very explicit in their documents as to who is related to them and what beneficial interests they have in their estate. Therefore, this is important so that people do not appear in a funeral like they do where I come from and claim that it was disclosed to them by their late mother that the deceased was their father and vise versa. It becomes a major problem. That is why I brought that point. For purposes of schools, it is important for State agencies concerned with education to be certain that children who benefit from our public schooling system are legitimate Kenyans. Therefore, there should be a document that is able to authenticate or verify their origin or identity. That is why issues like birth certificates are important. It is also important in terms of providing information as to their ages. There is a particular policy which has been legislated to the effect that a child has certain rights up to the age of 18. A child is also described as person below the age of 18. When they get to school, there is prescription as to what age they are. All this information must be availed to schools. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
