"content": "This Bill has got a lot of chapters that are very important and good for the benefit of this country. In all these chapters, I had only picked one chapter which I wanted to expound on. What I was talking about had nothing to do with a particular gender. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if anything, I was defending women more than men. What I had in mind regarding this section, is that it should be looked at again. This is Section 23 on page 367. It states as follows:- \"Any person who undertakes any unlawful, unsolicited and unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favours is guilty.\" My question is: Before you marry any lady, you must make advances. According to this section of the Bill, the moment you make such an advance you are already guilty and will be sentenced to ten years imprisonment. This should be amended. As most of us know, African women are very shy. They do not make advances to men. It is for the man to make advances. I was trying to protect those of us who are fast in making advances because we do not want to go to jail for making advances to ladies that we intend to marry. Before I marry a lady, I must make sexual advances to her."
