    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Geezers like us, who technology found, must accept that technology is here with us. As a country and as regulators and policy makers, our main focus should be to regulate its use. In any way, the right to petition is enshrined in the Constitution. As long as a petition is constitutional and legal, we cannot begrudge someone for bringing it. Indeed, with new technology, when the Public Petitions Committee sits to review the Petition, they need to tweak it. They need to look for the gentleman and listen to his fears and also talk to relevant State organs to regulate the use of social media. Some of us who are older are worried about the content that young people access, including the vulgar language they use. But we must accept and live with that kind of reality because it is their way of doing things. I urge the Public Petitions Committee to look at the Petition soberly to ensure that we align the rules and regulations to the modern-day era. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
