    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving an opportunity to comment on this very important Petition. It is true that we are not just talking about the girl guides but also scouts. It is good that as the Committee looks at the pieces of legislation, it also looks at the other side of the legislation because I believe that we need to. I believe the scouts’ movement generally and the Girl Guides Association are very good for young people. In fact, it instils discipline and most probably that is what we need currently in the country because we have many situations where discipline is important and where students need to make sure they take care of their schools. There should be responsibility at a very young age. I know Jeniffer Karina is very passionate and a good role model for many young girls in the country. I thank her for coming up with this Petition together with colleague. It is important that as a country we deal with the old colonial law or someday bring in new laws which conform to the new Constitution. Therefore, I welcome this move. I will be one of the Members of Parliament who, as a lawyer, will participate in the Committee dealing with legislation so that we get a good law. Thank you."
