    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to comment on this Motion that has been brought by Hon. Geoffrey Odanga as regards chaplainship. I support the deployment of chaplains to schools or institutions of higher learning to assist in bringing up the young ones and participating in moulding the society where radicalisation and bad behaviour is witnessed. Chaplains are found especially in church sponsored institutions, but payment to those chaplains becomes a problem. We should encourage the Government to set aside some funds to deal with chaplainship. We have institutions which are not sponsored by churches, but are sponsored by the County Education Boards. Such institutions can be considered in future and be given sponsorship where the spiritual nourishment of students or pupils can be seen to be discharged. Schools in Kenya are being burned. There are institutions which are said to have satanism being practised. This issue can be sorted out by having chaplains that can deal with this matter. I propose that chaplains be given an opportunity and the Government sets aside funds to pay them. I support."
