    "content": " I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that most pupils in primary and secondary schools are currently facing ethical behavioural challenges, manifested in the rampant cases of drug and substance abuse, socially unacceptable sexual misadventures and anti- social behaviour that has contributed to their poor study habits, academic under- achievement and increased conflict with parents, teachers and guardians; noting that there have been increased cases of school violence in the form of school strikes and burning of schools; cognisant of the fact that a breakup from cultural norms, rising unemployment rates and stress from parents, among other factors, has heightened and negatively affected the students’ behaviours in schools leading to increased suspensions or expulsions and drop outs; deeply concerned that students from families experiencing domestic violence, separation, single parenthood, terminal illnesses, among other myriad of problems, are prone to depression; appreciating that there is need for guidance of teenagers at their formative stages in life; this House, therefore, urges that the Government, through the Ministry of Education, introduces mandatory weekly guidance and counselling to all students in primary and secondary schools in Kenya by redefinition of counsellors’ roles, restructuring curriculum programmes, implementation of comprehensive school counselling programmes and development of systemic support."
