    "content": "I want to talk about a very encouraging thing in the Constitution that covers the rights of the young people. For those who are legally young at 35 years and those who are young at heart like me, who are beyond 35 years old, let us exalt the freedom that we are given in the Constitution in all its manifestation, but above all, exalt the rights of young people when they are abused. Let us speak more on issues of young people on this Floor, more so when their Houses are razed to the ground and are violated by the police. Let us speak about that even as we express our youngness in all forms. I would like to speak to the issue of drought. It is a big problem even as we are going on recess. There are parts of the country that have not been covered. As I was speaking to my mother this morning, I told her that I was asking the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons about the issuance of identity cards. She told me: “Please, also inform him that cows are dying by the lake in Suba”. I told her that we do not go that far, but I would like to inform the relevant Minister that in many parts of this country, many people are dying of hunger. Please, let us prioritize these two weeks to remember the women and children in northern Kenya and other parts of this country who are dying of hunger. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate the Minister for Education. From the beginning of the year, I have stated that there are parts of this country that are marginalized in terms of education. We are seeing an improvement. He has invested in those areas even though they have not reached the same level as other parts of the country, for instance, northern Kenya and Nyanza. There was some significant improvement. I want to thank the Minister for Education, Prof. Ongeri, for the excellent work he has done. We will continue to support him. In Central Province, there was concern about the falling levels of the boy child education. The Minister has done a lot of work and boys have done very well in Central Province."
