    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to comment on the two issues. One is on the issue of the IEBC. The reality on the ground is that there is extreme voter lethargy when it comes to registering as voters. So, there is need for the IEBC to extend this process by even two months so that there is mobilization of people in the counties to register as voters. I remember when I was in Lugari, I moved from one ward to another and I found that people were not keen on registering. This is bad because they are denying themselves their constitutional right of electing deserving leaders. There is need for that process to be extended and for the leaders to go on the ground and sensitize on the importance of people taking voters cards. Quickly on the issue of the fire, I am very sorry for what happened at Buruburu Girls High School. I have been a teacher before and I always insist that when it comes to discipline of students, the tripartite relationship of students, teachers and parents is very important. In some schools, for example, you will find students just doing things that are unthinkable. However, when they go home, they talk to their parents and their parents instead of supporting the teachers towards disciplining their child, they gang up against the teachers. I also want to talk about the issue of emergency doors. There is need for boarding schools to have emergency door or an exit door just in case a fire breaks out. The issues faced by schools are not for the Government alone. It is an issue of parents and partnership. I support these two Statements."
