    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for this chance. I also want to support this Motion. When parents are put in lawful custody, families suffer, especially children. There will be a lot of disorientation for the children. It is very important for these children to be taken care of. The Government needs to take care of the needs of children whose parents are not there. Nobody is left to take care of these children’s needs including schooling. When parents are not there, the growth of their children is negatively affected. This is a very important Motion that we really need to work on so that the Government has an obligation to take care of children whose parents are in prison. The Government of Kenya has tried to take care of even orphans. These children, whose parents are missing, are almost like orphans, because some people will go to prison for very many years. All those years really matter to that kid. It is a very important Motion to be implemented. We want to work on it. We have lost too many children because of this. It is good for this House to work on it and support it, so that our children who are left by parents, some who are jailed for years, get help. With those remarks, I support the Motion."
