    "content": "it was when I was at the University of Nairobi (UoN). This will deal with a lot of matters. It is not only about praying for the students, but they will also help in guiding and counselling them. When there is an issue, we can have somebody to make reference to. The other day, the CS made a very drastic statement that students who burn schools will face the law on their own. That contravenes the law. The only thing to do is to take those students to rehabilitation centres. You cannot jail them. Deploying chaplains is a process that is part of development of the young people. The Motion should be amended to include deploying chaplains to primary schools because some kids acquire some bad habits from there. Children in primary schools now know a lot of things. In my view, this Motion is important. When the church sends chaplains in an ad hoc manner, they have to use money to travel and, therefore, they should be compensated because some schools in rural areas might not afford them because of the cost of education. The chaplains are going to play a big role of moulding youngsters, organising prayers and offering guidance and counselling. Chaplains will help in making discussions and be part of the process of bringing up the young people in schools. When you go by the Constitution, it is a role that we should bring out so that it is played by somebody."
