    "content": "We saw the story of Butere Girls’ High Schools drama titled Echoes of War . People were perpetuating instability by trying to use our children to disrespect the leadership, the Government and parents. People are using children who will not only disrespect the Government, the President or leaders. They will go ahead and start disrespecting their parents at home and that will become a problem. It is unfortunate that some of these leaders have been in elective positions. They are using children to their disadvantage. I wish many people listened to the speech by a youth leader who the other day spoke with wisdom in Siaya during the burial of George Oduor, the aide to his brother. I know he did a good job. If you get such an aide, you can imagine how far you can go. The champions of instability are also chief tribal mobilisers. They use their communities to mobilise. Negative ethnicity and tribal animosity is what is generating all this. I urge leaders who want power in this country to give us alternative plans as the people in the Government, instead of sideshows and creating tribal animosity like the Governor of Trans Nzoia. We should stop doing that and ensure that we preach peace. I urge the Ministry of Education to call out teachers who use our children to advance selfish political agendas. We cannot allow this country to be run down by such individuals. Mr. Speaker, Sir, courtesy of your office, all Wazees in the country have received Kshs2,000 even before salaries of public servants are sent. Which Government has ever done that? As I speak, the Affordable Housing Programme is on course. The Cabinet Secretary for Information, Communications and Digital Economy was here. We need to connect the Great Lakes region. We are on the right trajectory of development. They say that if a lizard wants to wear a trouser, it should decide which side of the tail it should go. With those many remarks, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to second this Motion."
