    "content": "for Hon. Kaluma, who is a very polished lawyer, to go through the ruling. He can tell us whether they can challenge that ruling in court. Members have also raised the same issues, and I agree with them. There are major concerns, especially touching on child trafficking, even as we allow single males to adopt children. There are also issues touching on the care of children that I do not want to mention. However, it is okay for a single male to adopt a relative. For instance, if I was not married or if Hon. Kaluma was not married and by bad luck lost a relative who has a child, he should be able to adopt the child. If you have no relation to a child, it is only right that we do not allow single males to adopt them, as it were in the original Act. During the Committee of the whole House, we will move amendments to drop this proposed amendment to allow the House to consider bringing a substantive Bill, rather than just what is in this Statute Law (Miscellaneous Amendments) Bill, to cater for all the provisions that have been nullified by our courts. We can do this through a substantive childcare Bill."
