    "content": " I, first of all, want to register my appreciation to the Committee, through the Chair, for, at least, responding to this House in a short time, as quickly as possible. This is a matter of national importance. The issue of that girl caught the attention of this country for what happened to a small young girl who is below the age of 15 years. Listening to the Chair of the Committee, I get it that this Report is based on the findings and investigation done and the witness was the TSC, which is the employer of the teacher who was purportedly or allegedly the one who made that girl to commit suicide. The MoEST is still doing its investigation. I urge that the Committee gets to this House the report of MoEST and any other investigative agency so that this matter can be addressed conclusively. My concern is that I think we are probably dealing with the symptoms of the bigger problem in this society. A young girl of 13, 12 or 11 years committing suicide is something we should not look at in a narrow perspective of failure to provide sanitary towels. We need to ask ourselves the fundamental question of why it is that there is increased cases of teenagers The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
