    "content": "Both this Committee and the one on universities should address the total problem in the population. The symptoms are already showing amongst our youth. As Parliament, if we continue to demonstrate that leadership by handouts is the way and that power can be bought, we cannot blame Babu Owino for dishing out notes in the open. The solution will not be the “boom” as it was. If you look at the Income Tax or the Pay as You Earn (PAYE) collection, it is not growing fast enough to continue the “booms”. Who is going to pay when only a small percentage of the population is enjoying increasing incomes and the rest have their incomes stagnated? Who is going to pay? This House should check all the ills in our society entirely and the extent to which they are being demonstrated amongst the youth and on our roads. We should treat that instead of asking for panadol, which is to erect bigger bumps and closing universities. We have a serious problem in our society. It is the responsibility of this House to commence corrective measures early enough before all of us are overwhelmed by those bad habits. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
