    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to this Bill. All the Bills that are introduced in this House should always pass through the Budget and Appropriations Committee to have them designated either as money Bills or not. What I find most important is the assumption that a girl under 17 years of age is a child. I support this based on our current law. Culturally, my mother married at 17 years, but see how healthy I am. She gave birth to seven healthy men and three healthy ladies. My colleague here, Daktari, has talked about two children. Sometimes, our culture makes our young girls to marry under our cultural norms. Sometimes, wazees decide that their daughters marry because of certain circumstances. However, in the eyes of the law, I know that it is assumed that anybody under 18 years is a child. I support the Bill because it is going to enrich our cultural values. It will also enrich our society and take care of our young girls. I support the Bill."
