    "content": "is nothing new that we bring in; we only wait and bring up something to condemn certain institutions and then we speak as if we have just come from the moon. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter is very serious. We must know where we are going to and stop pretending. The issue of drugs is very critical. My friend from Kwale, Sen. Boy Juma Boy has talked about gadgets that all girls use and here we are pretending that we do not know what they do. These girls and boys know more than what I knew at the age of 50 years. What do you expect in a situation like that one? What kind of solution are you going to propose to get this matter resolved? We have to accept that new technology has come and there is nothing we can do. We should live with it, but design the mechanism on how to deal with this matter no matter how serious it is. But we should not pretend that we can make a breakthrough when we talk about sex education in our houses with our children and yet they know more about sex than we do. We do not need to waste our time telling our children what to do. Instead we should design mechanisms to control their lives and make sure that this society is different from the past society. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if Sen. Wako’s Committee cannot deliver, we should form an ad hoc committee to come up with a new law which will force the county governments and the national Government to do exactly what the statute law says, but not to be misdirected by the Constitution all the time. Once you mention the Constitution, it is like you are talking about a very huge and important thing in this country. To me, it is nothing unless it helps the people of this country. Thank you and God bless you."
