Members some of them who are prominent lawyers. Allow me to persuade them. I am one of the least people who can turn against women because in my own family, God has blessed me with many girls. I know the challenge of this. However, speaking about what hon. Wetangula spoke about as a lawyer, on the issue of perjury, the lawyer knows that he is misleading us. The punishment that accompanies perjury is a mere six months or so but the point that he has missed is that in Section 38, the one we are debating does not contemplate a situation whereby punishment would be meted to anybody who approaches a police station or a court based on facts. It only punishes lies."}
