    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, and congratulations for sitting in that Chair. I want to congratulate Sen. Kwamboka for coming up with this Statement, especially during this time of the COVID-19 pandemic. It is quite interesting that more is coming with the COVID-19 pandemic, putting into consideration the fact that parents have been put to task to take care of their own children. However, I want to state that it is the responsibility of parents to take care of their own children. When you take your child to school, it does not mean that your responsibility has ended. Responsibility starts and ends with you. It is not the responsibility of a teacher to take care of your child. Much has been said about the churches, which were suspended until yesterday. They have also been taking care of our children and bringing them up in a biblical way. The church also comes in with moral support. I said it here sometime back that people need to be ‘scooped,’ and will still repeat it while still in this House, that the punishment of the perpetrators of these acts is very minimal. I do not see the punishment supporting the community today. These people need to be given heavy punishment. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, becoming a parent to these children, who have sleepless nights and have to visit doctors for appointments, is a heavy task."
