I want to associate myself with the sentiments that have been expressed by various speakers with regard to the philosophy underlying the presentation of this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I supported the Motion when it was moved. We all know what the Motion called for. However, I feel that the law that is proposed to be enacted through this Bill is strange. I have never myself supported or even shown mercies for rapists. For 798 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 27, 2006 close to 18 years, my record in dealing with court cases concerning rapists will speak for itself. However, I cannot now stand here and support something that is strange because some people have already said, as hon. Kajwang put it, that if you do not support this Bill, you are a supporter of rapists. There are various SMSs that have been sent to all of us today by strange civil society activists and feminists who are loitering in the streets. Those messages are meant to intimidate Members of Parliament. We are above that! Of course, that is part of the reason why some people behaved funnily yesterday.
