Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I do not think it is wise for us to perpetuate name-calling in this House. We have had men and even women going through customary marriage even before Corona. Therefore, I do not think Hon. Millie is in order to claim that people only go through customary marriage when they experience Corona temperatures.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill by my brother, Hon. Kaluma. Therefore, it is evident that when Hon. Kaluma is not consumed by the handshake manenos, he thinks.

When he legislates for himself, he legislates for many people like him. Therefore, I support this Bill in its entirety. The issue of succession is complex in Kenya. We need to simplify it. When we see the unclaimed assets portfolio growing by the day, it is not because of the fact that people do not know they own those assets. Most of them have already gone. The complex nature of our succession laws has led to this quagmire we are in. Recently, the Unclaimed Financial Assets Authority was formed and we now have billions of money lying in that Fund ...

investment of what they have been bequeathed is much higher than the general production of the economy. This is a wakeup call for us and the nation as a whole. We need to create many production avenues so that the people being protected by this Bill sponsored by Hon. Kaluma do not rely so much on inheritance because they will have opportunity to create their own wealth without necessarily relying on those who have already gone ahead of them. With those remarks, I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to convey my sincere condolences to the family of the late Member of Parliament for Kitutu East, Hon. Samuel Motari. Having perused his history and got it from the current Member, it is very evident that when you give yourself to serve the people and even when you give yourself to serve God, it is never in vain. I say so because we have heard from the previous speakers that he donated his private land for use by the church, which is basically public and sacred. My grandfather was a canon ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill and the entire amendments. When we talk about business, we are talking about economies of nations. Countries that are not mineral rich, and not endowed in natural resources, governments, kings and rulers will only have to depend on taxes. Therefore, all the countries that are not mineral rich have to rely on taxes and taxes basically come from transactions. For governments to operate and for economies to grow, there has to be a singular move of growing The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ...

the enterprise and the businesses of those nations. Fortunately or unfortunately, Kenya lies on that category of economies and countries that must rely on enterprise. In addition, if you compare a country like Kenya, we can be bundled together with countries that are much more developed in terms of their genesis of the economy like the US and the UK, especially in comparison to other economies like Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Russia. These are economies that are more robust and have developed on the basis of the minerals and natural resources endowed unto them. Even as I support this ...

This country has done very well in fiber connection and Information Technology, but we have a long way to go when it comes to the last mile connectivity programme because just like water, you may have trunks of pipes yet if you do not have the last mile connectivity, it is of no utility. The same goes for the internet. You may have a lot of trunk fiber around the country, but if you do not have the last mile connectivity, it is of no use to the investors and also to the population of Kenya. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was just trying to say that from 1960 to 1979, South Korea, during the rule of President Gen. Park, saw her exports grow by 364 times. It was growing on 40 per cent per annum compounded, meaning that when you grow these companies, you open up opportunities for many other people out there. We can also talk about China, especially when Young Pin took the reign in the early 1978. These are just examples to show that the difference between countries that excel is on the basis of the leadership and policies. Therefore, ...
