    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I thank Sen. Chebeni for bringing it to the Floor of the House. The question of people abusing children and causing problems to a point where they could infect them with harmful diseases, is one that the country should take very seriously. You only have such problems when there is a breakdown in law. Out there in the society, we have people who are called paedophiles; these are people who are sexually ill. Such people should be ironed out of the society and stay in jail, where they can be medicated. If there are such people in schools, they should also be brought out and put in jail, where they can be medicated. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am a teacher, having trained at the former Kenya Science Teachers College (KSTC). In the field of education, there are ethics, which stipulate that any learner – whether in primary school or at the university – is a child to that teacher and should not be looked at in a sexual manner. I, therefore, think that this is also a question of lack of training. If the teachers do not understand the ethics of education, they should be retrained so that they understand that they should not be messing around with school girls. If that is the case, of course, they should be put in jail. The same applies to those who mess with school boys. We should, therefore, take this issue seriously as a society and as a community so that we can get those people out of the society. Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker."
