We are aware that CCTV alone may not actually stop those acts. Apart from the CCTV, I think there are quite a number of other issues which need to be considered. When we have boarding schools which are not fenced, we should expect such activities to thrive. When we have boarding schools where even the teachers themselves do not live in those schools, we should expect such activities to come up. I think far and beyond installing the CCTV, most of these structures that we feel are necessary need to be put in place so that we can be able ...

Kilifi South, ODM): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been waiting for this opportunity to contribute not only as a user but also as a producer of this crop.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I have looked at Motions on the Order Paper and they are all urging the House to do something.

I support the Leader of the Majority Party that this is a matter that needs to be handled by the House Business Committee. I was in the Committee in the 11th Parliament.
