Madam Deputy Speaker, is it not a constitutional violation not to conform to the affirmative action? In fact, the definition of affirmative action includes measures designed to overcome an inequity or systematic denial or infringement or right of fundamental freedom. How can we allow young people---? Justice Kwach used to call them phantoms of the imaginations of the makers. These companies are made up by people who are 70 or 80 years old; men pretending to be women and non-disabled pretending to be disabled. Is that not obtaining by false pretense? It is.

But more importantly, I would like to know whether after the vote by acclamation here, a similar Communication was read in the National Assembly.

Sen. Kang’ata suggests, which is wrong, that simply because children are going to boarding schools, we prevent them from being pregnant. I have got news for you.

I have a case of a head teacher who was suspended for impregnating 21 girls in the same school. There is also a girl who was defiled and the medical officer who was supposed to check defiled her. There is another girl who was defiled by the uncle.

This is a matter that you cannot attempt to throw blame all over the place because we take responsibility. Take responsibility and ensure that this is not happening in your community.
