    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I must say thanks to Hon. Godfrey Odanga for having chosen me to second this very noble Motion. I must say, at the outset that if there is a progressive Motion, then this is one. When a Motion speaks about learning institutions, basically we are talking about our children in schools. Article 53(2) of the Constitution provides for the importance of a child’s best interest. The child’s interests stand out as of paramount importance in any issue relating to children. We understand that we now live in a society where there are very many issues happening and it is quite unfortunate that these things have gone to our schools. I need not repeat, but it is public knowledge that our schools are burnt every day. It is also public knowledge that there are very many cases of drug abuse in our schools. It is no longer strange to find students smoking in schools. It is quite interesting that these days, children are arraigned in court to face charges. These are school children and this trend is worrying."
