    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is a very interesting Bill. Whereas, in principle, the Bill is important to support the girl-child, there are basic issues about it. Some have been raised. When I first saw it, I noted that it is a Money Bill. In addition, this Bill will interact with very many other Acts of Parliament. I have gone through it and not seen transition clauses to raise those issues. Other than that, it is an important Bill because we are dealing with adolescent pregnancy, which is a biological problem in the context of a changing society. That is the problem before us. There is increasing early puberty in children, both boys and girls. Therefore, early sexual activity increases. This is a big problem because of the liberal upbringing and provisions in our protective laws. It is necessary to address it. Girls get into pubescent very early. Menarche comes extremely early. They start ovulating and seeing periods early and are, thus, capable of getting pregnant and yet they are still children.
