    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Bill. I have worked as a Director of Social Services and Housing. This was my area of concern. We saw groups being formed and registered, and the good things the groups did in the nation of Kenya. As a Women Representative, we liaise with women groups, youth groups and persons with disabilities groups. We are given affirmative funds which we distribute to these groups. We need a Bill, which will really take care of these people. The social development officer will be in charge of the registration. The social development committees will mobilise communities to form groups. In this Bill they are talking about the location and address where the groups will be located. Because of security issues, we need to know where they are, their number, the addresses and even the telephone numbers of their leaders so that in case of anything, we can reach them. This Bill also talks about the merger. The groups will dissolve. When they dissolve, they will come together. There is a rule under affirmative action where less than 100 women will not be given funds. Under this new Bill, those issues will be factored in, and the women, the men and the persons with disabilities in this nation will be reached and there will be a law to take care of them."
