    "content": "Thank you once again, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to register my appreciation to Sen. Kibwana for bringing this particular Motion on the Floor. I believe that any nation is definitely judged by how much it invests and treats its children. The journey starts with how we treat our mothers as a nation. It is said that it takes a village to raise a child. That implies that it certainly takes a village to grief whenever a child is lost. This is an important matter especially in countries such as Kenya. Losing a child/pregnancy below 28 weeks either through miscarriage or stillbirth for mothers, is a taboo in most African countries. That is particularly strong in the Kenyan society. Therefore, the issue of trauma, stress and sometimes disrespect of women who end up losing their pregnancies in health facilities is real. The contrast is big. If you look at urban areas of Kenya, we have made a major stride as a nation, whereby about 98 per cent of women visit health facilities to give birth. If you go to rural communities, this goes up to 94 per cent."
