    "content": "in this sector working on it. I have seen women who suffer from fistula. Being a woman, I know you understand how that feels. This data also provides information about the youthful population. We have a rapidly growing youthful population. This population does not have jobs and, because of poverty in their areas as has been put forward by this Report, cannot continue with their education. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this Report speaks about vulnerable people and people with disabilities. I note with a lot of concern that I was at home when we were on short recess last week. There was one man whose name is Mr Shadrack Lelei who walked into my compound. He is a reverend. He told me, “ Mheshimiwa, I am coming here to ask you to pay salaries for staff in my school.” I asked him, “Why are you telling me to pay staff in your school when you have 70 students?” He told me, “These are children with disabilities and they do not have birth certificates to get NEMIS numbers.” This is a red flag regarding how children and people with disabilities are treated. The parents hide them and the Government is not doing enough to fish them out and ensure that they have the requisite documents. I felt bad for them because this is a very important service to the community. The people around the area of Mosop are benefiting from it. However, they cannot access funds from the Government courtesy of the lack of requisite documents that should be provided by the same Government. The Chair mentioned something to do with life expectancy being better for women. He was comical enough to say that it is because women go to salons to do pedicures and manicures. I was telling my friend, a Member from Kirinyaga County, that the same men go to barbershops four times a week. A week has seven days but these people go to the barbershop four times in seven days. You wonder who should have a better life expectancy."
