    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, first of all, I want to point that there is nothing inconsistent with the procedure or the steps that hon. Ndung'u has taken with our decision to delete that Section. That is because the opening remarks are very clear: \"Delete and substitute\"! Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, having said so, I want to bring something to the attention of hon. Members of this House. I come from an area where fishing is the main occupation. It is a multi-billion shilling business. It is carried out by very youthful young men. In the majority of cases, you have very sophisticated women from more sophisticated areas of the country. They come to the beaches. They persuade those young men that they are single and cohabit with them for three, four to five years. During that time, the young men toil and give them money. Then suddenly, one day, the women go away with all the wealth, leaving those young men completely despondent and demoralised. I want to appeal to this House--- This is not something that we should take lightly, nor should we consider it as a theoretical consideration. It is a practical thing. If hon. Kajwang is here, he would agree with me. It is happening today in Suba and Busia districts in every single day. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to support that amendment."
