Sugar daddies have been glorified. The social media stresses on sex. When you watch news at 9.00 p.m., most of the commercial advertisements by television stations have sexual connotations, yet at that time, most of our children watch television. We should also look for ways of restricting the use of internet and social media.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we should also make amendments to the Sexual Offences Act. I have heard someone propose castrating the perpetrators; but I would like to tell them that all reproductive organs are not productive.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with that we need a legislative and policy framework. We also need to train our security agencies on how to handle some of the cases so that our girls can have another opportunity to go back to school so that they realise their full potential. However, let us not forget the boy-child. Some of us are officials of boy-child organisations in this country, and we should try to protect their interests and ensure that our children are safe.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From the outset, I thank the distinguished Senator of West Pokot, Sen. Poghisio, for this Bill. This will empower our counties to increase the revenue sources. There have been a lot of concerns on how our county governments can be sustainable because they mostly depend on the revenue allocated by the national Government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Article 209, the national Government and the county governments have been given powers to impose taxes and ensure that they earn in line with Article 210 on imposition of tax and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand guided. I was referring to counties of Sen. Sakaja, Sen. Fred Outa and Senator 001, Sen. Faki. There is a wrong perception that advertising is being done in city counties. I agree that there is a crisis, chaos and disorder in the City County of Nairobi. However, as much, we should demystify. That is why if you go to a village in the middle of nowhere, somebody has erected a big billboard without receiving authorization from any agency. I thank Sen. Poghisio for being precise and concise in ensuring that the law is put ...

So, if an advertisement is done in Garissa, or Mandera, it should be inspired by a camel. If an advertisement is done in Nandi County, it should be inspired by a cow or maize. We should brand our counties based on that. An advertisement done in the City County of Nairobi should have the best, latest swag because of the general populous that is in the City County of Nairobi These are the things I agree with. We should not have this culture of using wholesale western style of doing things to look trendy and classy. We can domesticate and ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the fact that language is dynamic. I meant that an advert done in Nairobi is different from an advert in Tharaka- Nithi. It must be trendy, latest and up to date unlike in other counties where we come from where people are more conservative. A person cannot wake up one day and put up an advert of a half-naked lady somewhere in the middle of Nandi County but we can do it here in Nairobi. That is what I meant.
