    "content": "Power. The Government wants to install power all over the country but there are so many faulty transformers. Not only should we have these installed but they should also be checked to ensure that they are working all the time. That is the second thing we are proposing. Thirdly, we are proposing that we have a profile of the alleged perpetrators of these acts. A register should be kept by the CS so that we can know the people involved in these cases of arson. What happens is that during second cases of arson increase. The reason they escalate is simply because those perpetrators of these acts, when the school burns down and they are sent home, they do not go back because they know they are culpable. They convince their parents and seek transfers to other schools. When they transfer to other schools, they become heroes because of telling the others of what they managed to do in another school. A second, third and fourth school burns and the next thing we ask is what is happening to our country? Why are all our schools burning? If we can block the transfer of the perpetrators, it obviously means that we will not have this kind of vice spreading into other schools. We want to ensure that we have strict transfer procedures which are restricted to those people whose records are clear. That does not mean that a child cannot transfer from one school to the other. It just means that if this register is available, even when a school accepts that child to be part of their student population, they will take care to ensure that this child is closely monitored. Only monitoring will stop the continuation of those negative vices in this country. This is a matter that is of grave concern to a lot of our people. I beg to move. I call upon a Member who also has the interests of our children and education at heart, Hon. Wilson Sossion, to second the Motion."
