    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry's policy is that when such cases come to our notice, the teacher is immediately interdicted. When investigations are done, further action is taken whether the parents or the administration take the case to court or the parents take that responsibility. Under no circumstances do we allow teachers whose pupils have reported that they are being harassed sexually to stay in schools because we believe that children do not lie. A child will not say that she has been sexually harassed if she has not been harassed. When it comes to grown-ups, it is a different matter all together. We passed the Children's Act in this House and we have authority to prosecute child abusers. With regard to female teachers, there are different steps to be taken in order to punish the culprits. I hope that the ladies in question will go to court, so that we can punish the headteacher and dismiss him. I need evidence to have him dismissed because he can also go to court and sue the Ministry. We are not supporting any teacher who is harassing either female teachers or children. That is why the Minister remained in support of the three teachers."
