    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to support the petitioner. We are lacking civic education in this country. It has never been done properly to the citizens of this country. Statistics show that about 40 per cent of the registered voters never turn up to vote. If the petitioner was to say that we look for a way of meting penalties, it is a choice in a democracy for people to exercise their right not to vote. In essence, from national Government or county governments, we need to effectively do a lot of civic education to our people so that they may understand the mandate of the leaders whom they will give the opportunity to serve them. That is what is lacking. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
