    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek clarification as I begin on a point of order that was raised by Sen. Kinyua on the Statement of the erroneous marks being given by Kenya Certificate of Primary Certificate (KCPE) through the portals. I wish that the Chair would also help me because I raised a Statement of the exact same nature yesterday and I would like your direction as to what will happen as another couple of sequence of the same have been raised here today. Second, I inform Sen. Cherarkey, who made a couple of comments directed to the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare which I sit in, the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has been working hard. Very hot topics have been brought to our Committee, including the Uasin Gishu County issue as well as the Football Kenya Federation (FKF) and are being dealt with the most serious in its nature. I reassure the Senator that we gave direction that within 90 days of the report that we did hand in already on the Uasin Gishu County matter, that the petitioners will get information as to how many people have been paid and how many are still outstanding. That is already in the works. The FKF President and his group had a meeting this morning with the petitioner and his group. We are definitely on the way to resolving the matter. Let him be rest assured the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare is working. I say that on behalf of the Chair. Lastly, I rise to support the Statement made by Sen. Nyamu. This partying, drinking and clubbing from dawn till dawn is a really big issue. This is a place where predators make prey to young people. They of course are vulnerable young people with sometimes asinine behaviour. However, it is not grounds for these institutions, places and clubs, which hold these parties from dawn to dawn, to take advantage of these young people. We know that in these establishments, we see young people being drugged, taken advantage of and being groomed; that is something that has not been discussed on the Floor of the House, but is extremely important for Kenyans to take seriously. Young people are prey in these establishments. I thank Sen. Nyamu for bringing that Statement. I want Kenyans to know that Sen. Nyamu amesema futa aluta. That is something that needs to be taken seriously and I support the Senator in her efforts."
