Obure","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":118,"legal_name":"Christopher Mogere Obure","slug":"christopher-obure"},"content":"Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to thank Sen. Musila for championing this very grave matter. I want to say from the outset that the victims are generally very poor and very needy students particularly girls. I also want to say that it is very disturbing to note that there is a specific law which makes it a criminal offence to withhold a student’s certificate. Therefore, as a Senate, we insist on enforcement of the law by those responsible."}
