Protect me from K’Oyoo hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker

Hon. Oyoo yes. This matter had been deliberated very well at the level of the Committee of Labour and Social Welfare. The matter has been taken and referred to the Finance Committee by the same Committee. At that point, when they were referring this matter to that Committee as the parent Committee, there was no objection from the Chair of the Finance Committee.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. I rise to support it because it is a very important amendment Bill. This Bill would not have been brought in a better way by any other Member other than hon. Kaluma himself. The sections that the Bill is trying to amend are sections that to some extent contravene the Constitution.

Article 53 says:- “(1) Every child has the right–– ( e ) to parental care and protection, which includes equal responsibility of the mother and father to provide for the child, whether they are married to each other or not.”

Section 25 of this Act is being amended. It says that where a child’s father or mother were not married at the time of his birth, the court may on application of the father order that he shall have parental responsibility for the child. If the Constitution has expressly said that both parents have responsibility for parental care whether they are married or not, I am wondering why the father should be subjected to a court process; that he should go and get a court order so that he can have his right to care for the child. This means ...

inconsistent with the Constitution when the father has to go to court so that he can get a court order to get his rights of being responsible over the child.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know very well that in the African culture, the father is responsible for the child and he is the one to take care of the child. So, when you subject him to go to court so that he gets a court order to get his right to take care of his child, is not fair.
