    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Okenyuri on matters civic education. Civic education is a continuous process of acquiring information and experience mostly as far as good governance is concerned. Civic education is not a privilege but a right that should be offered from the county level, given that we have we have a devolved system of governance. Over time, this civic education actually enhances good interrelations between people of different ethnic groups and religions. There is much more output when information is relayed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, continuous good civic education will help curb issues like what we are currently seeing. As you know, our colleagues are not present because of the current protests that are ongoing. Our youths are actually being misused by some of the politicians. Had they been given good civic education, they would understand how best to address some of the concerns that the Opposition is bringing on table. It is high time civic education is implemented as Sen. Okenyuri is requesting, so that some of these issues can be addressed. Information is power. With information, these issues will be addressed both in short and long term perspective. It is so sad in our country today, that lack of information has made Kenyans from different walks of life not to understand what it really entails. I believe good governance is about offering its people education and information that they need. I support the Statement by Sen. Okenyuri."
