I challenge people to say, if you become old, what will happen to the party. You find people bearing just two children. We know the cost of living is high but a person needs to do justice when it comes to bearing children. Hon. Sen. Musaka, we support your motion that people should bear more children; there is no problem there.
In my family, we are ten. Others died but we are all there. When we needed mealie-meal, we would make sure we get a 90kg of mealie-meal and a big pot will be used to cook for us to have something to eat. Nowadays, you find people talk of the cost of living. For us to have more schools, it will be a result of having an increase in population. My husband always says a child is a goblin because when we were in the fields with the children during school holidays, we would finish to work on one hectare in no time. If you have one child, it will take time for you to finish ploughing a hectare. If you have two children, you end up making negative comments about the person with more children.
Others used to give birth with limited spacing and that is what is supposed to happen. The truth is we should bear more children. Procreation is very important. There is nothing that can be done if there is no procreation. If the family is there over the festive season, you will enjoy yourself. If you do not have children, what do you do? If you only have two children and one dies, you are only left with one. Yes, you might say that God has made his decision but if you have more children, you are still able to enjoy. Chief, we really want to thank you for all that you say. Polygamy is not bad. It is actually very good because women do not want to give birth. So, it is better that more women come in to bear more children. Therefore, I want to support this motion.
Hon. Sen. Musaka, all those who are going to contribute to this motion will be positive. Right now, I have six children but among them, the one with the most children only has three. I always try and explain to them that if one dies what is going to happen. I always tell them that we need the family name to continue. In the end, the Goto family will be extinct, so we need to keep the family name going. I thank you Mr. President.
