    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to respond to that with just one point. There is a borstal institution in Kakamega called Shikusa Borstal Institution. When I was sitting in the Special Select Committee on Prisons, I went there. It was such a sad picture to find 500 boys committed to such an institution. One of the boys gave us a testimony that by the time he ended up in Shikusa Prison, during the time he was spending in the police station before he was finally sentenced to that prison, he was sodomized continuously. When you see the situation in those borstal institutions, you are sure, and we were sure as the Committee, that these boys would end up in more crime by the time they leave that institution. Therefore, these things are important. It is not to commit them into those institutions, but to separate these people and find a way of punishment, so that the people behind them do not think that it is okay to burn a school. They should not think that after all they will just be taken to an institution to check their mental faculty. The incentive to go out for a weekend to meet a girlfriend for valentines and not to do an examination is not a mental issue. It is just bad upbringing."
