    "content": "My conclusion was that these were young girls and they were all having babies. They were either carrying babies on their backs or expectant. It shocked me that a whole community looked like that babies carrying babies. It shocked me so much. I asked myself how the community accommodated this. In some parts of Kajiado County, it looked like a normal occurrence; every young girl was carrying a baby. If not carrying, then she was expectant, yet this is a community that we expect chiefs to be enforcing the law by making sure that teenage pregnancies are discouraged. There is a part that I do not want to mention. However, privately, we can talk with the administration because it shocked me. It looked so normal to the members of that community. It looked like it was the order of the day. I wondered why we had never spoken about it. I was a constituency holder for 10 years. However, in my Kajiado East Constituency, I had not seen such a situation. So, it shocked me to know that in some parts of Kajiado, life is very different and many leaders are silent about this. That is why I thought more than ever before, that maybe Kajiado needs a mother as a Governor because mothers will bring out some of these issues. I do not intend to be biased. However, there are many issues that male leaders will sweep under the carpet. I have never heard anybody speaking about it, but I saw a huge problem in Kajiado County that needs to be addressed. Miraj’s Bill is well-meaning and well-timed. However, caution must be put so that it does not look like this House is encouraging teenage pregnancies. However, once it occurs because of unfortunate situations that the child did not intend, was not in control, or was out of molestation, then the situation still has a law that takes care of that kind of situation. I support, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
