Elachi for bringing this Motion. This morning, there was a radio programme in one of the FM radio stations; I think it was Radio Ramogi, and they were talking about the National Youth Service. It was a joke that really made me laugh; that when you go to the NYS, you are trained how to use the shovel; how to throw it this way and that way, and sometimes you learn how to slap your wife with it. I was quite amused. They were trying to degrade a very serious training. I want to give you a very personal story. There was a young man who is since deceased. He was my cousin and could not go to school because the father could not afford to pay the school fees. I took it upon myself to pay for his fees up to Form Four. I remember one day, he came to my office to take the last cheque when he was going to Form Four and he had not tucked in his shirt. I was so furious that I had paid the fees and he was showing me madharau . So, I told him: Kirigi, tuck in your shirt. Then he tucked in one side and left the other side hanging. So, that annoyed me even more. I remember boxing him very hard and telling him that he should not take me for granted because I do not have to pay his fees."}
