"content": "the first world status in a generation, were largely a very disciplined societies. Whenever I hear of a headmaster who is a total disciplinarian, I applaud him. If I hear of a headmistress who is a disciplinarian, I applaud her. That is the only way we are going to develop a disciplined society. Madam Temporary Speaker, I applaud the idea of expanding the NYS to train over 20,000 people. This is because if they see anybody making a mistake in town, they can deal with them, because they understand. From a conscientious point of view, it is necessary that societies be disciplined. If you look at the way we drive our vehicles; if you look at the way we park our vehicles; if you look at how we double park matatus on our roads, you know why we have a snarl up of traffic jams in this city. In fact, a half of the so-called traffic jams in our country are not caused by too many vehicles, but indiscipline. We do not cause traffic jams because of anything else other than indiscipline. Madam Temporary Speaker, our society is stained with this sickness and ill behaviour that can only be solved if we start in schools. We are glad to see that today we have schools listening to this debate. They should also understand the seriousness with which we take discipline in schools as a House. Madam Temporary Speaker, we want these people from the NYS to be deployed in many parts of our country. However, let us not just make them our slaves. We cannot say we have the NYS, therefore, come and just follow us around while they are cleaning. We must give them some clout in our laws so that they can serve, not as a military force, but certainly as a disciplining force for our society. I would like to urge the Mover of this Bill to consider further amendments to include the aspect I am talking about of giving capacity to those young men and women to enable them to participate in the process of discipline building in our communities. Madam Temporary Speaker, when you look at our hospitals, you will find that most public hospitals need help. Therefore, I would propose further to the proposed amendments that some of these people who are in the NYS are also exposed, to an extent, to matters health and treatment. This way, even as we face the kind of situation we are facing, for example, with Ebola across our borders and elsewhere, these are the people who can be trained so as to assist in solving some of the problems alongside medical personnel. They can be of assistance to medical personnel if they are properly trained to deal with that kind of situation. Madam Temporary Speaker, we are creating, in our nation, a cadre who are jacks of all trades; probably, masters of very few, but certainly people who can be very effective as far as assistance to our country is concerned. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to further propose that this programme should be expanded, not only to be a national project, but to have branches in the counties. As we move into the future, starting with few other areas, we should have one in the coast, another in the north, central and one in western. We should expand this so that in some counties, we have the national youth training taking place for those youths who can take responsibility within the counties. These 20,000 people are very few for a nation. We should train them in the institutions that are available. They should then be deployed to secure and help within the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
