    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I begin by thanking Hon. Odanga for coming up with this very important Motion that basically deals with deployment of chaplains to learning institutions. I have noted that Parliament is seeking to give solutions for almost every problem that we have. We are here to represent, oversee and legislate. It is difficult to legislate on everything, but I see desperation in this country. Members have noted that the nation is going through some form of desperation and that is why we have reached this point where we have to figure out solutions through legislations that will help grow this country and move it to the next level. The problems that I have noted in schools are grave. We have reached that point where drugs are being used left, right and center in our learning institutions and the kind of drugs in schools today are so advanced that even the school management boards and managers might not be in a position to detect them. Alcohol is being abused at a very high rate in our schools and it is something that has been publicized out there in the media. For instance, so many students have been arrested by the police for being drunk and yet, they were supposed to be on a school trip. Early sex is a major problem and it is not just about early sex involving children and grown-ups, but early sex among the children themselves. It is a big problem and in some of our areas, it is the order of the day. There is a problem that this country is going through. You also know that in some of our schools, the property of our children is not safe. That is because some of the children steal from others. Dishonesty is at the highest level ever currently.
