    "content": "The number of orphans in this country has increased like never before. We have had pandemics like the recent COVID-19 and HIV and AIDS which have claimed lives of young parents in this country. So, we need the orphans to be helped. I have widows in my county. I am a pastor and when young women lose their husbands, pastors tell them they can see Jesus. I do not know how to tell the young women to see Jesus because they will only see Jesus when he appears with bread, school fees, a roof over them or some things like that. The need for social assistance in this country is overwhelming. Therefore, I believe we cannot just repeal this Bill the way one speaker said that there is some irrigation to be done in north eastern. I do not understand how this money can be connected with irrigation. There is enough money in the Ministry of Agriculture. The other day, we were talking about increasing funding for the Irrigation Board. So, let us put everything in the right perspective. It is my prayer that if there are any gaps that make the money not to be used the way it is supposed to, that is the bit we should deal with. The need for social assistance for those categories of people that I have just mentioned is glaring. If we think the Ministry is not using the funds, we should summon the Cabinet Secretary, Principal Secretaries and all directors, and ask them why the money is not working the way it ought to."
