"content": "We need to relook at the Sexual Offences Act and other related laws with a view to amending them to provide more stringent punishment for sex crimes offenders, especially when they relate to minors. Our children are our heritage. If their innocent lives are destroyed by sex pests, we shall not have a Nation. Article 53(d) of the Constitution provides that every child has a right to be protected from all forms of violence, abuse, neglect and inhuman treatment. We must, therefore, stand up for our children. I urge all the relevant authorities, including the Committee on Education, Ministry of Education, all schools administrations and all institutions in the justice system, to play their rightful role to bring an end to the sex crimes in and out of our schools."
