"content": "On a point of order, Madam Temporary Speaker. I seconded the Bill that Sen. Sijeny moved in this House. I would like to plead with my colleague and fellow professor, Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, that it is in the tradition of Parliament that once a Bill is debated and passed, you cannot go back on the same and begin criticizing or revising in retrospect. It is not good parliamentary culture. Having said that, the issue that Sen. Gwendo has brought to this House is extremely important. I think we should not just treat this particular incident as an isolated one but look at it as part of a youth culture that is emerging in this country which should be stopped forthwith. If we do not, the kind of issues that Sen. Sijeny raised in her Bill would be compounded and we will have health problems and demographic issues that we cannot really handle as a nation. I commend Sen. Gwendo. I also think that we should go further as the Senate and find out how we can establish rules, laws, regulations and procedures that make any youth gathering for a party be companied by parental guidance."
