    "content": "lose a whole dormitory on the other side where an investigation is unable to come out with reasons and who did this heinous act of destroying infrastructure that we have struggled to put in place. Therefore, it is important that the Government moves in and puts resources in this. We can stop other things and prevent or ensure we are able to investigate and come up with solutions as to why some of these acts are happening in our schools. I have done my investigation. Installing CCTV cameras is not an expensive exercise. All we need to do is have the Government spearhead it and prevent the schools from being exploited by people who take advantage of every opportunity that comes up in this country. If that happens, it will be a cheap exercise. We will be able to roll it out to all the schools we have in this country and, more so, boarding schools. It is pathetic that we have boarding schools that are very open to the outside world: the fences are not there; dormitories are near towns; and, we have our girls and boys in those schools. For that reason, I think it is high time we also take an audit of all our boarding schools in this country. We need to be very sure that our boys and girls are safe; we need to be very sure that interferences from outside do not happen. As I was going through these incidents, I learnt a lot. We could sometimes be having our boys and girls exposed more than we could probably know. The boys and girls are seated here. For that reason, as I said, it is important that we take audit. It is also important that we allocate enough resources to secure these schools. It is no use to have a good laboratory, a good dormitory and a good class when our children are exposed to all manner of assault from outside. I urge this House to approve this Motion to urge the Government to ensure that we have CCTV cameras installed. I also urge that, at an appropriate time, this House should review the allocation of NG-CDF resources to our constituencies. I support."
