    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I support this Motion on providing a safety net for caregivers of persons with severe disabilities. I wish to congratulate the Hon. Member for bringing it to the House. I am one of those who consume the benefits of such a debate even though I am now older than the children. On their behalf, I wish to thank Hon. Members for the kind contributions they have made towards this particular Motion. A caregiver, as known by everyone of us, is a person or sometimes an institution that tends to the very concerns of children, persons with injuries or those who have short-term or long-term disabilities. It could be due to illness, accidents or some other interferences while they were growing up. As one of the Members has said, we appreciate how far Kenya has gone in terms of appreciating disability as a concern in the country and as part of our society over time. Hon. Temporary Speaker, in contributing to this particular Motion, I wish to pay attention to two things. The first one, which has been exhausted by Hon. Members, is the short- term intervention as suggested by the majority in our contributions since this morning. We need the issue of PWDs to be a budgetary item in our national Budget with great attention paid to caregivers in families. They range from families and individuals who have volunteered The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
