    "content": " Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that Article 53 of the Constitution provides for the rights of children, including the rights to free and compulsory basic education; further aware that Section 22 of the Persons Deprived of Liberty Act and the Childcare Policy provide for a care of a child whose mother is deprived of liberty until the child attains the age of four years; recognising that children above the age of four years still require parental support; further recognising that majority of the children often suffer from emotional distress, social stigma and economic hardships; cognisant of the fact that all children should be accorded a means of maintaining their relationship with their incarcerated parents and noting that children have restricted economic resources available for their support which in turn negatively impacts their lives; this House therefore urges the Government, through the State Department of Social Protection and Senior Citizens Affairs to develop and implement a programme for care of children above the age of four years whose mothers are under lawful custody."
