"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I stand to oppose the proposal to delete clauses 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Bill as proposed by hon. Kaluma. You will realise that what we are speaking to is a constitutional issue and the Constitution is very clear. I wish to allay fears. We might be having a mix-up, and thinking when we talk about parental responsibility we are talking about custody of the child. These are two different things. When it comes to custody of the child, the law is very clear. It has to go through a legal process where the best interests of the child are given primacy. What hon. Kaluma’s amendments intend to do is to align the Children Act with the Constitution, and also make sure that the prevalence of irresponsibility - I do not want to say that irresponsibility is with any one parent - when it comes to care of children is a thing of the past.
