    "content": "and it is a common song. In translation, it states that “a child has imprinted a tattoo” and that is what they mean by saying “kichoran tattoo lakwet”. Therefore, some of those things are allowed under the law. It could be culturally accepted to imprint a mark on a child's body. However, it is wrong because there is no consent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you have practised law longer than some of us and consent can only be given by a person who has attained the age of 18 years. Therefore, what should we do? I know there is guardian ad litem and as the law says, there is guardianship and one can sue through the next friend. However, does an auntie have consent? Sen. Ogola, I do not know about this, but you need to look at the legal jurisprudence. You can sit with the Temporary Speaker, so that he can give you the legal jurisprudence. If today I take my child for a cultural thing, maybe an imprint, a tattoo, or a mark and I am the guardian of that child, am I allowed legally under the law to give consent on behalf of the child? We need to have that exposition on that jurisprudence. Number five, I agree, but I know there are many people here who are Catholics. On the issue of family planning, I am happy that she has captured something about not being pregnant. However, many of us are Catholics. The Catholics say: “Let nature take its course”. They do not agree with family planning. How do you capture this? I do not know how you will have a conversation with the Catholics when it comes to the issue of family planning. I know the only family planning that has been captured in the Bible is the withdrawal process. This is where another person was doing that in the Bible. Therefore, I think that has been captured. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is in the Bible and I am not quoting something that is not there."
