    "content": "As I conclude, I agree with Hon. Kaluma and the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party. We need to harmonise those bits of legislation so that they are in one compact Bill to address all the issues of our children, including child-parents and the children of child-parents. However, this does not stop us, as a society, from going back and looking at what happened. Where did we go wrong? When did the rain start beating us for us to have so many children dropping out of school and missing out on education? I thank the Government because it has agreed that every child who gets pregnant should go back to school. Even as this happens, we must also look at the peers so that we control that vice. I tell parents in my constituency that when the girl child goes home for maternity, the boy-child who got her pregnant must also be disciplined. He must also be dealt with. He must be given leave of absence or a punishment, so that we can stop that vice and stop setting bad precedence. Otherwise, we will continue allowing those girls to become pregnant. We should not be seen to be doing so. We know the vulnerability that leads to such pregnancies. Once it occurs, we need to address the situation and support those children so that they can continue with education. When we do this, they will grow up into well-taken-care-of adults. The children born by those child-parents will be protected."
