 Assembly, the House of Representatives, has passed for second reading a bill to review the penalty for genital mutilation from four to five years and the amount sum from 200,000 to one million Naira. The sponsor of the bill, Honourable Ghani Johnson, while at Linnary explained that the upward review of the penalty as regards to the bill will help contain their practice in the country. The seconder of the bill, Chief Weep of the House, Honourable Mohammed Mongono said that increasing the years of jail term or the amount of penalty is not enough, but insisted or suggested that mass sensitization on the negative effect should be done to Nigerians. Against all the laws that are in place, the practice is still going on. So it is not enough for us to increase the penalty that is in it for relevant agencies of government, community leaders to go and back upon aggressive campaign with a bill to raise awareness of parents and community members about the dangers that is associated with this practice of female genital mutilation. The deputy minority leader, Tobio Kichukur, amended that the amount should be increased to a million Naira. It was, however, rejected by the House of the Ground that it must follow the DU process. Violence is violence and we should not in any way or manner to leverage it or make it clear meant for people who are undertaking that enterprise. We have had a lot of young people and young children go out seeking asylum based on this, making it very, very uncomfortable for them to live in their own environment. So any punishment that we prohibit and encourage the prohibition of this violence should be done. So I'm moving that we should upgrade it to two million. As it is now, Honour Abitobi that proposed the amendment has not committed any offence. The amendment has not been seconded. Therefore, no, please excuse me, let me just finish. Even if that be seconded, the chair has not root.
