seeks to deal with what he calls, in the Memorandum of Objects, “opportunistic schemers”. These are people who seek to disenfranchise the legitimate heirs.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the people around me are wearing masks. If you watch the House of Commons proceedings, you would know that if the Members around you are wearing masks, you are allowed to speak without one. Yesterday, the Minister for Health was surrounded by the Council of Governors.

11 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
I have lost the momentum. Hon. Kaluma is dealing with something called “opportunistic schemers” who, in his opinion, seek to disenfranchise the legitimate owners when somebody dies. This proposal must be well thought out so that we do not pass a law that will disenfranchise legitimate heirs to the properties of deceased persons. We must be very careful. This law must balance the intended objectives, taking into account proposals and scenarios that may arise in any case. We have a number of issues. I want him to convince us. He is seeking to introduce a new definition of the term ...

I have read this Bill. I want to go on record. The House can pass or reject it, but the fact that today I can go to the Hansard recording room and listen to what Tom Mboya said 50 years ago makes me to also want be on record. I want the people coming after me to also listen to my contributions in the future. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have asked, this law once passed, will it mean that the wife you spend 30 years with shall not be recognised? Could you call your former wife who has spent ...

If you allow me, Clause 3 of the Bill is also very ambiguous. I want Hon. Kaluma to listen to me. I am told the law is not drafted in plural, but rather in singular. However, my view is that the existing Section 29 is clear than what is being proposed in Clause 3 of the Bill, which only refers to a spouse. The existing Section 29 of the Bill makes it clear; wife or wives. We need clarity. It is important for the Member for Homa Bay Town to make it clear. Finally, please give me an extra one ...

On Section 29(1) he defines who is a dependent and on Section 29(2) he gives a provision that one is not a dependent unless he or she can prove that they were maintained by the deceased for two years. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, why include a former wife and allow a person who can prove you were maintaining her for two years before your death to claim property? This Bill is giving legitimacy to “come we stay”. The women you keep in apartments can inherit your wealth while the woman who lived with you for 30 years and has your ...

On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not want to interrupt my good friend, Hon. Adagala. She is saying I am protecting girls. Which girls when I only have four boys? I have not given birth to a girl. I am not protecting girls. I do not know if I heard her clearly. If that is true then she needs to withdraw. I do not protect girls. Even in my home the only girl there is my wife.

Of course, I protect my wife. She is saying that I am protecting girls. I do not play with those girls in apartments, the come we stay. I have no business with them.

9 Mar 2021 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, I sought two statements and I want you to ask the Chairs. There is a statement I sought and the timeline you gave was two weeks. One was to Hon. Florence Mutua the Chair, Departmental Committee on Education and Research, and the other one was to the Hon. Pkosing, a very good friend of mine. The two weeks have lapsed. I have checked my email and waited for the written response in vain. Hon. Speaker, now being a senior Backbencher, I keep track of my business in the House. You should have asked the two chairs to treat ...
