    "content": "I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53 (1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Information, Communication and Technology on the actions taken by the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Digital Economy to protect minors from online sexual exploitation. In the statement, the Committee should- (1) Articulate the steps taken to reinforce penalties on online sexual exploitation of minors, given that existing laws may not impose severe enough punishments to deter potential perpetrators. (2) State initiatives undertaken to initiate a national campaign to raise public awareness about the perils of online sexual abuse. (3) State the amount of public funds allocated in the Financial Year 2023/2024 to bolster the capacity of law enforcement agencies to investigate and prosecute cases of online sexual exploitation of minors, detailing how training, advanced tools and personnel deployed to tackle these intricate and sensitive issues. (4) Appraise the Senate on the existence of database of convicted online sexual predators stating plans, if any, to publicize the same."
