"content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the integrity of this House will be measured greatly if we pass this Bill. This is because FGM is not of any value. As a military man who took people through very rigorous training, we never saw the difference between a circumcised and an uncircumcised woman. Really, there is no need for women circumcision. Since I became a Member of this House, I have always advocated for the stopping of FGM. If we pass this Bill and it becomes law, we will be in a position to arrest those who will break the law. At the moment we cannot arrest them because they peg it on culture. There is no culture when you are damaging a human body."
