"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is a report that was done in 2013 by the National Council for Population and Development. In the former Nyanza Province where I come from, the prevalence rate of teenage pregnancies was 26 per cent. We can do something about this. We can train and teach them what to do. This will help them. This is a tricky Motion because if we do something to cushion those affected, then some teenagers may not fear the repercussions of getting pregnant, since something will be done for them. Therefore, we just need to arm them with the right information, because they are exposed to sex. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, about two weeks ago there was a page on Facebook that was exposing irresponsible fathers. Parenting is not about one person, but two people. Sexual intercourse is about a man and woman. This page was exposing fathers who have neglected their responsibilities of parenthood. If we arm these teenagers with the right information, we can avoid such things. We can know what to do when a teenager gets pregnant. The father will not run away from his responsibilities and the mother will have somebody to assist her in taking care of the child. Also, teenagers will know the right time to get a child. We do not want to have a 13 year old who is a mother. This is because at 13 years, they are expected to be in school. This can only happen if we give these children the right information. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
