    "content": "Most of the research done in this country is biased. A research should be done with an objective in mind. Most people who do research always have biased opinions even before going to the field. At the end of the day, they just report on what is in their mind and that should not be the case. The research that is done at the higher levels of learning is rigorous. One cannot doctor information because the panel asks the students how they got information and anyone who has doctored information will be embarrassed because they will be unable to explain how they got their data. There is need for universities to be funded and we need to invest in research. In one of our meetings today, we were talking about teenage pregnancies and we ended up getting desk information which had not been researched. Someone said that teenage pregnancies are as a result of decadence in values but that information has not been researched. There is need for proper research. It is true that we need to talk about mental illness, drug abuse and all the ills in the society, but we must also do a rigorous, objective and empirical research. That will make the information brought on the Floor of the Senate credible and one that can stand the test of time. There is need for collaboration between the county governments, universities and colleges in research. We should also have collaboration between the national Government and universities or we can have a tripartite collaboration where the county government joins hands with the national Government and the academia with the view of solving a problem for the sake of the children of this nation. Thank you. I second the Motion."
