    "content": "axe, their small baby who was one-and-a-half years woke up. He went to the sitting room and while the husband was trying to take away the axe from the woman, it fell on the boy, and he died. That guy ended up being imprisoned in Nakuru. I think he is still serving his term for murdering his son. I am sure he did not intend to kill the son. However, when we resort to violence instead of sitting as adults and having a conversation about the issues that are affecting us, then know that death becomes the ultimate. Sometimes, you might even find yourself as a candidate for murder. Therefore, it is good to encourage all of us, especially those in marriage institutions, to always resort to dialogue. Let us not normalise physical abuse as if it is the order of the day. When our friends come to tell us that they have been beaten up, let us offer solid and sound advice. For example, being firm and saying that ‘you cannot hit me again’ or ‘you should never hit me.’ If possible, this includes going to record a statement at a police station. One should not just wait until they are killed by their spouses, then rush to the funeral in printed t-shirts of their photos eulogising them and saying how great those people were. This morning, the issue of teen pregnancies was also brought to my attention by Corporal Beth Kamau. There are many cases that she must deal with every day. She shared that she is currently investigating 13 cases of pregnancies in just three schools. Who is responsible? Can you imagine it is grown up adults? I am wondering what it is that these men see in small children that they do not see in adult women. I think, the Q in Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgendered and Questioning (LGBTQ), maybe that queer thing of how you can look at children and think about having sexual intercourse with them. As men, we should stand up and protect our children. This issue of having sex with underage children must stop so that we can protect our future generations. Hon. Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I support this great Report by the Departmental Committee on Labour chaired by my friend, Hon. Eric Muchangi. Thank you very much. I second."
