    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT the Bill be amended by inserting a new Clause 42(A) immediately after Clause 42. It should read as follows:- Any person who makes false allegations against another person to the effect that the person has committed an offence under this Act is guilty of an offence and shall be liable to punishment equal to that for the offence complained of. The intentions of my proposed amendment are very clear. AlI I am saying is that we should May 31, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1105 discourage persons with ill motives from making false allegations that; there have been attempted defilement or rape made on them or, indeed, persons in authority may have committed the offence under this Act. A person making an allegation that I attempted to rape or I raped her, knowing very well that I could easily go to jail for life, must also be prepared to go to jail for life in the event she is found to be making false allegations. With those few remarks, I beg to move, and request Mr. Kembi-Gitura to second."
