• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2(j) of the Bill be amended— (j) by deleting the definition of the term “legal custody” and substituting therefor the following definition- “legal custody” means the temporary conferment, to a person, of parental rights and responsibilities of a person having lawful custody over a child for a defined period of time under an order of a Court of competent jurisdiction; The Order Paper refers to “legal custody” to mean temporary parental rights and responsibilities. This is not true because it is not always temporary. It means that the ... view

• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. You will excuse us because you do understand. I am actually using what I sent to the Legal Department but sometimes I do understand that because of the sheer amounts of amendments, it may not come out as exactly as it were. They are actually telling me the amendment as per the Order Paper. My proposed amendments as per the Order Paper still has “temporary”. That is not my intention. I will do a further amendment to my amendment. Let me read what I had proposed. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT ... view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move; THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 2 – (k) in the definition of the term “obscene material” by inserting the words “morally repugnant or sexually explicit” immediately after the words “portray harmful”; It defines obscene material to include any book, electronic, social media and videos which portray harmful material. I am seeking to add the words, “which portray harmful morally repugnant or sexually explicit” so that obscene should include sexually explicit or morally repugnant information to the child. view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you know because of this arrangement, I have to figure out where my amendments are. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move; THAT the Bill be amended in Clause 2 – (l) in the definition of the term “parent” by deleting the words “who is liable by law to maintain a child or is entitled to his custody”; The definition in the Bill seems to suggest that a guardian is a parent. The amendment expands the scope of who a parent is. It also includes parents whose children are born through Assisted Reproduction Technology (ART), ... view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: As provided in the Bill right now, it says, “parent” means the mother or father or any person who is liable by law to maintain a child or is entitled to his custody.” If I have a custody of a child, I am not a parent, I am a guardian. I cannot be a parent. So, we are actually changing the definition of parent by this further amendment. I have many children that I live with, I am not their parent but I take care of them and I do all that I need to do for them to survive. ... view
• 18 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I thank Hon. Jared for the comments. I just want to indicate that we have agreed that due to the fact that I maintain a child or I have custody of a child does not make me a parent. Also, since my Assisted Reproduction Technology Bill is still stuck in the Senate, I cannot introduce what is not in law. I am proposing my amendment with a further amendment that “parent means the mother or father or any person who is conferred that right by law”. view
