    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for your kindness. We have spoken here time and time again about extra judicial killings. Being a young person in this country or in Nairobi should not be a crime. I know of more than 30 boys who have disappeared. If they were criminals, the criminal justice system should have taken care of them. We must have co-operation between the police and the community. I am glad that the Inspector General said that he is going to work on that. Our girls are being killed. Ivy Wangechi was killed the other day. There is insecurity in our universities. I lost a friend of mine called Ocs Ragira who vied for Kilimani Ward because of the activities in Club 36. If you have been to the University of Nairobi, you should know about Club 36. We have goons in our universities and we must protect our students. The deaths of Sharon Otieno, Monica Kimani, Lucy Njambi, Lydia Nyaboke, Fiona Kisuya and Grace Wanjiru should not be in vain. We cannot have a society that has accepted that young girls can be killed in such circumstances. We will work with the national Government and the county governments to build the Kenya that we want. However, we cannot build that country unless issues of tribalism and corruption are dealt with. We need jobs for our young people. Unemployment rate is high and the biggest threat to security is disengaged and disillusioned youth. It is not Al- Shabab but young people who have degrees but are sitting in jobless corners. It is the house girls who have diplomas but are being paid a wage that is below minimum and the watchmen. I am the patron of the 450,000 watchmen and they get Kshs6,500 or Kshs5,000 yet people pay the security companies Kshs50,000. We need justice in this country and we must raise the voice for the common mwananchi who is almost giving up today. With those many remarks, I chose to support the speech of the President."
