    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, this is a happy moment, especially for the members of the civil society who have been pushing for this law for a very long time. This is a momentous moment because the law is addressing what we call in medicine “the one percent of the surface area of a woman”. That one percent sometimes ends up being the most important area in the whole totality of that particular human being. Because this is a common meeting point, it is important that we now have a universal culture governing this very critical point. There will be another challenge now that we have created a fresh set of young people who will not be going through this cultural practice. The ones who have already gone through it will now start demanding for reconstruction. Members of Parliament should be on the frontline so that we also provide an answer for the high demand that will come as a result of this law. Finally, because this was an issue of culture and I come from a community where we do male circumcision, I hope that never in the history of this House should anybody ever come up with a Bill to try and outlaw circumcision of boys. With those few remarks, I support."
