    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to respond to a Statement request by Hon. (Prof.) Jacqueline Oduol regarding recognition and protection of the family by the State. The Member has already been given a copy of the response from the Ministry. Hon. Deputy Speaker, we held a meeting with her and I appreciate her knowledge of this particular subject matter. Therefore, I will summarise what she already has. This Statement was sought on 30th September 2021. The Committee invited the Ministry for Public Service, Gender, Senior Citizens Affairs and Special Programmes to a meeting on 9th November 2021 to respond to the Statement Request. The Cabinet Secretary was represented by Mr. Nelson Marwa, the Principal Secretary for the State Department for Social Protection. The Principal Secretary highlighted measures that the Ministry has taken to ensure the protection of families from challenges currently faced like insecurity, severe mental health issues, parenting issues and indiscipline, among others. He informed the Committee that the Ministry has put in place the following measures to mitigate the situation: (i) Development of a National Family Promotion and Protection Policy. (ii) Implementation of family promotion and strengthening programmes focused on empowering families. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
