"In this place (Wellness and Rehabilitation Centre) we are going to do something that has not been done before, and that is going to be done by the national government, the county governments and the judiciary, where our children who are caught in schools and have been arrested for other petty crimes and they are in prisons, we want to have a detention centre here where they will be moved and join the others for rehabilitation. They will also be trained so that by the time they are done, they will be productive members of society," she stated.
