    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me add my voice to this issue. Indeed, the issue of teenage pregnancies is a national disaster. We have had this conversations many times in different forums, mostly as women. I want to thank Sen. Khaniri for bringing this Statement and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. for bringing it up at the funeral of the father of our party leader a week or so ago. We need our male leaders to wake up, rise up and fight this battle with us. Indeed, what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said is true; we have to do something on the ground. We have to get out and attack this vice with the energy and gusto it deserves. I had an opportunity to interact with teenage girls in Makueni last month, during the International Day of the Girl Child. Some of the issues they brought up included being lured by these men. The girls are innocently busy doing their own things and the men are busy luring them into these vices. We live in a perverted society. I have heard of instances on social platforms where men share pornographic material. In one instance, a friend told me that he was shocked when somebody shared pictures of his niece who is in high school. He quit that group and tried to tell the men not to do it. What society are we living in? It is a shame! I pray that we can have our male leaders spearheading this. As much as women are doing it, it is not enough. The men need to rise up and pick up this battle. Let us not live as if it is not also our girls who are affected. The men here are also parents to girls. We need to protect our children and the future of this country. Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir."
