"content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I stand to support the Social Protection Bill, 2025. The Bill and the programme it intends to create are important. It has come at a timely moment in our country. The principal object of the Bill is to reduce poverty and vulnerability. A lot of Kenyans have fallen into poverty as a result of vulnerabilities resulting from many things happening around us, including conflicts, pandemics, recessions, environmental disruptions and economic crisis. The Bill is aimed at improving the well-being of the people by providing assistance and services and programmes that build human capital and cushion people against risks and contingencies throughout their life cycle. It aims at expanding the already existing social safety programme. Currently, the Government spends up to Ksh31.3 billion to support the elderly, persons with disabilities and orphans. This Bill intends to expand that bracket to include and cushion workers affected by disruptions such as loss of job."

"content": "The Bill defines a person in need, which includes orphans and vulnerable children, people in poverty, the elderly, persons with disabilities, persons in extreme poverty and persons affected by shocks. The Bill also defines the benefits these vulnerable people will get. It is very innovative in the sense that it does not just target providing assistance such as cash transfers and transfers in kind but it also includes assistance in terms of services, including rehabilitation, psycho-social support, respite care for services, feeding programmes, home-based care and skills and knowledge promotion."

"content": "I recall that the last regime had intended to come up with what was called ‘Unemployment Insurance Fund’, which was supposed to be contributory. An employer would pay part of it and an employee would pay the other part. Because of the tax burden Kenyans face, this regime has come up with this innovative idea of giving direct support from the national Government. It is important for Kenyans to know that many countries have a similar system. For example, Australia has a non-contributory social welfare system like the one we are introducing. South Africa has a contributory system where employers and workers pay. With those few remarks, I fully support this initiative and thank you for the opportunity."

Mswada huu umeletwa bungeni kwa sababu Serikali inataka kuweka mikakati ya kuwasaidia watu walio na shida katika hii nchi yetu ya Kenya. Watakaofaidika ni wale wasiojiweza katika jamii wakiwemo wazeee, wajane na mayatima. Huu Mswada utaleta raha kwa watu ambao hawajiwezi katika jamii yetu. Huu ni Mswada wa maana sana. Mswada huu utatoa nafasi kwa Serikali kupeleka mafunzo hadi mashinani ndio ijulikane ni nani ana shida ndio Serikali itengeneze mikakati ya kujua ni nani atafaidika na mambo kama haya. Wakati wa uongozi wa His Excellency, the late President Moi, watoto walikuwa wakinywa maziwa ya Nyayo."
