    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, it is not the Attorney-General. It is the Committee to move! I will move it! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, the provisions relating to the Sexual Offences Act be amended by inserting the following new amendments in proper numerical sequence:- Section 11 Delete Subsection (6)- Insert the following new section immediately after Section 11- 11A Any person who commits an indecent act with an adult is guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding five years or a fine not exceeding fifty thousand shillings or to both. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I have heard many hon. Members talk about this Order Paper today. What I want to be clear is that this is not an offence that is being introduced today. This is an offence that already exists in the Sexual Offences Act. However, the way it has been captured in the Sexual Offences Act, Chapter 11, is not neat. It is put together with indecent acts to children. Therefore, this amendment is simply to re-word. The offence is still in existence whether hon. Members agree with me or not. This amendment is to re-word, not to introduce a new amendment! Therefore, I beg to move the amendment."
