(1) Any person of not less than fourteen (14) years of age may testify as a witness. However, a minor of any age who is a victim of an offence, may testify as a witness.
(2) When a court is of the opinion that the person called upon to testify as a witness is not capable of understanding the questions put to him or giving rational answers to them as a result of his physical or mental incapacity, it shall by a reasoned ruling, dispense with such a witness and continue with the hearing.
