    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support this Petition. It is unfortunate that the unrest has gone up. During retired President Kibaki’s regime, we did not hear a lot of unrest. It is just during the regime of this Jubilee Government that we see a lot of unrest in the universities. I am wondering what is going on. It is very unfortunate. The young people are idling at home. At that age, they are very active in everything. That is why when they stay so much at home, cases of insecurity and pregnancies increase. At that age, you are very active and you must involve your mind. If you are not involved, you are likely to indulge yourself in some unworthy activities. So, my humble request is to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to move with speed so that we can find a solution. Is it because of economic hardships, the issue of bursaries or because of representation? If it is anything to do with the constitution of SONU, then they must review it so that they can give leadership to other people. You cannot lead forever. I saw a student giving out money in a video that went viral. I wondered where that student got the money from. It is important that representation should not have anything to do with money. In the Political Parties (Amendment) Bill that was in Committee of the whole House today morning, we saw that some specific amount of money should be put aside for the women in elections. We said that it is very unconstitutional because you cannot discriminate. I support this Petition. I urge the Committee to move with speed so that it can provide a lasting solution."
