    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Motion in the life of our children. We know that children are our responsibility and that of this nation. When children are separated from their parents, they go through a lot of stress and challenges. They need a lot of care when they are still young, especially at the age of four and below. When they are separated from their parents, they suffer a lot because there is no one to take care of them. Children belong to the society in the African tradition. However, there are many changes nowadays. They depend entirely on their parents. Once they are separated from their parents, they go through a lot of problems because no one is there to take care of them. They suffer a lot of social problems, and lack of care, economic power and support. Some of them drop out of school because there is no one to take care of their education. They also suffer because no one is there to take care of their medical requirements. I thank the Member who thought about this kind of support for our children because they belong to the society and the nation. We always say that our children are the leaders of tomorrow. I support the Member who brought this Motion. I urge the State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs to come up with programmes to support the children when they are separated from their parents. We also understand that most of the parents get into unlawful activities as they struggle to provide for their children. Those who start burning charcoal are sometimes arrested in the forest. They engage in unlawful activities to provide for their children. I thank the Member who brought this Motion which I support. The State Department for Social Protection and Senior Citizen Affairs should come up with programmes that can support our children spiritually, economically and education-wise. They should also provide their needs in the absence of their parents. I support the Motion."
