(Ms.) Odhiambo-Mabona","speaker":{"id":376,"legal_name":"Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo Mabona","slug":"millie-odhiambo-mabona"},"content":" The gist of my first amendment is to remove 16 years of age and let children be children. Sub-clause (2) retains the 16 years. I had actually forwarded the amendment, but I think it was erratically not captured. What it means is that if we manage to delete sub-clause (1), sub-clause (2) will remain hanging, which does not make sense. It refers to a child who has not attained the age of 16 years, which is the same thing referred to in sub-clause (1). I suggest that I move the amendment to sub-clause (1). If it passes, then we will recommit the clause and amend sub-clause (2) so that it is consistent."}
