    "content": "colleagues said is that we must punish those young boys. I do not think we are going to punish the parents because with modern technology such as WhatsApp, these girls and boys with their small smart phones can see anything and share everything. Therefore, they may decide to practise what the Europeans are doing. We must also come up with proper controls of the media, especially what is conveyed through smart phones. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other issue is drugs. I spoke about chang’aa earlier, but we have drugs being a major problem facing our youth. These drugs make our children “have fun” and be over-excited. This leads them to do silly things like those ones. We, as parents of this nation, cannot continue to be proud when our children are bearing children. There are girls who are 24 years old who are grandparents. At the age of 24, one should be in their first year of university or busy building this great nation of ours. So, what do we say? We must fast track some of these laws from the United Nation (UN) and the African Union (AU) to Kenya. I am not pro-abortion. So, from day one when you realize that a young girl is pregnant, the county governments and national governments must take care of that baby and the baby in the stomach. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the other issue is about Article 45 of the Constitution. We, as Kenyans, are proud to be a nation. This nation is made up of communities and families. If we want to be proud legislators and leaders of this nation, we must start from here. This legislation must be put in place so that our future generations will be happy to say that one day, the Senators of the Eleventh Parliament did this and brought glory to our nation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I thank you for giving me this opportunity."
