    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. Where I come from my teacher told me that culture is social legacy as pertains to people’s barbaric reality. Culture sometimes favors others the way the hon. Member who spoke before me said. The societal settings have favored men and so they have been given power time immemorial. The girl-child is thus always struggling; I also struggled. When we look at the favouritism by the societal settings, we find that in cultures like the one I come from it is manifested in domestic chores. The schools are there, but the norms and beliefs that we used to hold onto are no more. This is because of permissiveness in society. Even the young girls have started to discover themselves and they know their duties differently. We are seeing things like prostitution on the rise. The girls are running away from home to come to the urban areas in order to make money. As much as we know that poverty is there, other things are happening. In the ASAL areas, the problems there are more pronounced. While we talk of early marriages, early pregnancies, abortions, increased HIV/AIDS infections, prostitution and so on, in my county there are other problems. The first one is distance. One school is further from the other. They talk of insecurity and cattle rustling. Even we say that we want to put up mobile schools there, it will not work."
