    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. On the comment by Hon. (Prof.) Oduol, in my response I alluded to the fact that we have put the Ministry to task on some six areas that we will be following up. One of them is what she raised - overemphasis on policies and not the practical application of existing policies and laws. We will be following up on these six areas. We are sure that once the Ministry implements some of these areas or adheres to some of these areas, Hon. (Prof.) Oduol will be satisfied. On the point raised by my brother, the Member for Endebess, I would wish that you get a copy of our response. You will realise that the Ministry has gone deep into responding to the various questions that were raised, including what you have just asked. The Ministry has put in place activities such as volunteering where they train volunteers in every constituency to support families that fall into challenges. That is one of them. They have also come up with volunteers who attend to children and people living with disabilities. I urge the Member to get a copy because I can see that is an area he has an interest in. If he will not be satisfied with the response given - though I believe he will - he can always come back to us and we will get through. We have also talked about things like creation of rescue centres for the elderly, which are now there. The Ministry has since implemented them in two constituencies and is moving to do the same in others. So, there are a lot of activities the Ministry is undertaking to ensure that family values and stability are upheld in the country."
