    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I fully support this Motion because caregivers face a lot of physical challenges. So, they should pay attention to their personal wellbeing. They lift and assist PWDs and end up with no free time to relax. They also face a lot of emotional challenges and frustrations while assisting PWDs and feel lonely and isolated. What is annoyingly bad is that they are not renumerated like social health workers. We do not look into their problems or imagine if we were in their situation. Imagine if today you woke up and found yourself disabled. This is because disability is not marked for a particular person, but it can happen to anyone. You can wake up today, with all your organs in place and accidentally, you become disabled. We should give first priority to caregivers because they face a lot of financial challenges. For example, if you are taking care of a blind person who cannot go to the toilet or eat by themselves, it means you will work for 24/7. But when it comes to earning, you get Ksh2,000 a month or nothing. Even getting acknowledged for doing that job is a tall order. At the county level, we should ensure that social health workers and caregivers are in the database just like teachers and doctors, so that they can be given a stipend every month. Thank you."
