    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to support this good Motion from our hon. Senator. This is a very serious issue of children having babies. It is happening all over the country. I have just listened to the hon. Ongoro narrating what she sees whenever she goes home and at times when she visits counties like Kilifi. I was also expecting her to mention my county. It appears as if every county in this country has this problem. Thank you, Senator for this Motion. This is a big problem that this Senate should fix and ensure that we have responsible citizens in the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the contributors of children bearing children is the Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). In pastoral areas, immediately children go through this, this almost becomes a certificate for girls to move around with men. Out of that, the results we get are children getting pregnant. After that, they drop out of school. Thereafter, you will find them in the situation that the Senator was explaining. I remember one time when we were making a joke out of some governors who had set aside some money to fight pornography. We said that such amounts of money should not be set aside for that. However, having heard what Sen. Boy Juma Boy was explaining, I was about to say that, probably, we need to allow some Governors some funds to fight some of the activities that have come about as a result of the information age."
