    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for also giving me a chance to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for having thought of this very vulnerable group. As my other colleagues have said, this is the most vulnerable group of Persons With Disability (PWDs) that is forgotten. I want to join other mothers by celebrating the mothers with this nature of children. If a mother gets such a child, she will never go anywhere. She will be reduced to just taking care of her child forever. These are mothers who will not take these children to school. They cannot take them anywhere. They have stunted growth. Some of them will not talk. Some of them cannot hear. This child becomes a total burden to a parent forever. Many of our facilities, counties, and healthcare institutions have no care for these children with cerebral palsy. I concur with her in her statement that we need to go further in terms of giving awareness of what these mothers should get, including others services and what these children should get. We should go further in making policies that can help these particular types of children. Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to request you to give me a minute to also congratulate Sen. Kavindu Muthama because I did not get a chance to do so earlier. She is my neighbour from Machakos County. Kajiado County is neighbouring Machakos County. Therefore, on behalf of all the women of Kajiado County, we want to congratulate her. We have also learnt quite a lot of lessons from you, especially issue based campaigns. I was following your campaigns in church and all forums, your campaigns were issue-based. We want to congratulate you, thank God for you, and thank the people of Machakos County for having stood with one of our own; a woman. Despite the fact that we are not coming from the same political party or affiliation, I want to congratulate you as a woman. We are, indeed, happy. As a country, we are really happy. Further, this is a celebration month for us. Remember also we neighbour Tanzania. We now have a neighbour Madam President. We are blessed this month. Therefore, the women of this country have something to celebrate."
