Bill in Kenya Seeks to Lock Out Secret Lovers and Illegitimate Children from Inheritance

"Nyaribari Chache MP Richard Tong’i said: “The culture of women contributing nothing towards the acquisition of wealth but are quick to claim a share when a man dies must come to an end.”
Terrible response. If we are to take marriage seriously,then men should not get afree pass. Married people should be let aware that there are serious consequences for stepping out of marriage,except after divorce.
Yes, on reading about the increasing cases of men siring children outside their marriages,and the truth coming out only after the man passes, I suggested that the mpango wa kando has 2 years or so to"register" the relationship as such.Failure to do so,puts her out of reach to any inheritance. See,this will make the two adults creating an innocent child think of their actions;the message being you legitimize/legalize your action,or you pay for it later.Make the adults responsible.Marriage is not achild's play.As for the child,actually nothing changes. As soon as paternity is established,child support process goes in action.Thanks to DNA.

Or maybe be faithful to your wife.

I support him 100%. It is sickening to see mpango wa kando stopping the burial because she wants to be included in the inheritance. Mpango wa kando is a home breaker who contribute too much pain to the family and when the man dies she show up to torment the family by requesting inheritance to the wealth she has not worked for.

"...people who do not qualify to be spouses in the marriage act..." - the minute you sleep with a woman, with or without protection, know there is a chance your list of "inheritors" could have grown longer. No play no worry.

Nobody is talking about the fact that these men who have passed on are probably happy that their wealth is distributed by the state to all their kids and women(formal and informal).This bill is a nonstarter.

If you are willing to play you must be ready to pay or as I was told at a young age, Russian Roulette can end a life Catholic Roulette can end your life as you know it. The child did not ask or petition to be born and should not be punished for the parents stupidity. Kwani these men never heard of snip snip?

Kaluma is still tryign to humilliate the ex...useless man.

Couple years ago, a lady friend told me how she was desperately looking for a baby because she couldn’t find a man to marry her. She invited me to her “project” but I laughed it off thinking it was a joke. She increasingly got frustrated & kept talking about it until I realized she was serious. All the time saying she just wanted a baby & would never ask for child support. I completely declined. Kept saying all the nice men had been taken. Finally, after a couple months, she tells me excitedly about a work colleague of her’s (married) that’d started flirting around with her & they had just had their first date. I’ll never forget the next thing she said, “Nitamkalia wazi uchi mpaka apotee macho hatajua vile aliingia hapo” To cut a long story short, a year later she got a bouncing baby girl. Juzi she told me hata support atalipa, kwani? Si ni Baba mtoto! True story.
GUYS, PLEASE PLEASE BE WARNED - many women use pussy to ensnare you for life, ZIP UP!

Think about the inocent children they have no part in the relationship and this guy is their biological father I think they are entitled to some inheritance If you do not want drama be polygamous of stick to one wife

I don't wholly support this. Nevertheless I've realized some women want kids and not marriage. Those kind must be banished forever. I would like every man to share wealth among his kids before death. If you didn't contribute to wealth created you must keep off. No sow no reap

Its all men's fault.Please heed Mlachake's advise. Please read his post. He says the story is true. Note how he avoided being ensnared into child support. Men have a choices.And they know the consequences. There are no accidents here.
If you are stupidly lured into sex or seek it without restrain, please work on your will power.Its only sex,dont get in trouble by making it such abig deal of your life.You it properly,and you will avoid all the problems that are associated with sex.Folks this is pretty much common sense...

Help everybody except your own love child, eh? This is pathetic. Kaluma just wants to help lusty, old MPs get away with abandoning their own ofgsprings

Well, how about if you are a person with wealth, avoid creating a longer list of beneficiaries by humping any moving being. Be faithful to your spouse and like magic, all inheritance problems solved.

Laws should not be created on the basis of one man’s anger. Kaluma has been at war with the ex forever! He tried to abduct the kids, refused to support the kids, claimed his income is zero and demanded child support from the mother of his kids...and all this to please the new woman. Kaluma has two kids he has been trying to disown...and he now wants to rope in all Kenyan men, even those who are responsible!

Darn shame.. Children did not chose to be born and mustn't be forced to live without. One day those children grow to have their own self accumulated wealth and will want nothing to do with parents who refused to acknowledge and provide for them while younger.

If you play, you must pay.

...i fully support the bill but there should be a section that protects the child. Like for example, the bastard can be legally locked out of inheritance BUT his/her basic needs (education, medical, food, housing, clothing) should be catered for by the legal family until s/he turns 18.

Also, the side-chick should be leagally inclined to provide half of that which the child needs. So they go 50/50 to avoid exploitation from the side-chick. Eg. A sidechick demanding ksh100k for housing, ksh 250k for education and 300k for medical bills for 1 kid is outrageous.

This Bill will help women see the importance of marriage. It will deter young women from aspiring to be baby mamas or sugar babies coz they have nothing to gain in the end.

On the other hand, men should learn responsibility. There are consequences for adultery and should be legally forced to pay child support until the kids are of age 18.
