    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT Clause 176 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub- clauses immediately after sub clause (2)– “(2A) A person who is convicted by a Court of competent jurisdiction for any of the offences in the Fourth Schedule or similar offences shall not be appointed to be a foster parent.” “(2B) Subsection (2) shall not apply to a person who applies be to a foster parent to an intersex child.” This is to provide for the rights of intersex children to receive foster care and not embed the gender rule there under. Further, the amendment seeks to bar criminals or persons of questionable repute such as child traffickers and other criminals stated in the Fourth Schedule from fostering children in order to safeguard the welfare of children. I thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
