    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity so that I can contribute to this Motion. I would like to congratulate and commend my sister, Sen. Ongoro, for bringing a Motion that really touches on the very core of the family. These are our children and it is said that one in every three households is faced with problems and issues of pre-teen and teenage pregnancies. This has arisen because the social norms of our society have now been eroded. African traditions and customs are no longer being followed. If you go back to the rural areas, especially in the villages, you will find that we do not even have elders. What we used to call the elders are now the young boys and girls. When you come to the clergy, the churches that used to give us moral guidance are no longer doing so. Last night, I was ashamed to see on national television a pastor being arrested after being caught with his neighbour’s best friend. We have not forgotten the other incident involving pastors who were caught in sexual acts somewhere in Nyeri. This is very shameful. These are the very people who are supposed to help our children to come up with good morals and educate them on how they can live a good life; a life that can bring some results to them. You will find that for the very first time in our country we are faced with another social ill that was supposed to be good technology. This is the social media. The Senator for Kwale, Sen. Boy Juma Boy spoke very well. I want to commend him for saying that"
