"content": "Hon. Speaker, as you know, the problem with Africans is that they do not believe in the Bible or the curse that originates from the Bible. If you swore a witness today with the Bible or the Quran, more likely than not, they will always speak a lie because they do not believe that the Bible has any impact in their lives but, if you asked them to swear by their mother and children, you can be sure you will obtain the truth. So, this court will be administering such kinds of oaths to ensure that people speak the truth and we move away from the formal process where you use the Bible or affirmation. So, we use the paraphernalia that is known in the African culture. If swearing by the sword, we get the sword so that we give it to the person to swear by it so that they can speak nothing but the truth.
