    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I stand here to broadly support this Bill. The problem of sexual offences has been with us for some years. We have been complaining about this issue. Majority of hon. Members of this House encouraged the Mover to bring this Bill to the House. We cannot have such a short memory of turning round to try and oppose the Bill. We cannot give in to the human beasts; people who are not human beings in their brains. The people who are harassing people sexually through rape and such similar behaviour are not to be taken for granted. We should take a decision to even isolate them. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am over 70 years old now. I have never understood why a woman or a girl should be harassed sexually or raped when God has given somebody the brain and technique of convincing a woman or a girl. Why should you become an animal and start raping a woman? I am one of those hon. Members who have spoken on this issue in this House before. About two years ago, I said in this House that if I found out that somebody has raped my daughter, wife or granddaughter, I will not wait for the police to handle the matter, I will kill that person! I will break the law to protect my daughter and granddaughter! 834 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 2, 2006"
