    "content": "behaviours, worrying about the future of the children, anxiety and depression. Caregivers dedicate their lives to caring for these persons. They cannot even undertake civic duties such as voting. For this reason, I urge Members to support this Motion. We should bear in mind that anybody seated in this House can be a candidate of severe disability. Nobody knows when disability will strike. There are people who are involved in accidents and find themselves completely incapacitated. They cannot even do the normal chores that they used to do. As I conclude, I urge the House to support this Motion. We are not only doing this for these children and persons with severe disability but also for our safety. This is because at one stage in life, you may need care and attention from one of your relatives, friends or even spouse. It is dismaying to note that mothers of severely disabled children are sometimes left to take care of them on their own. In most incidents, when men realise that there is a huge burden of taking care of a child with severe disability, they run away. There are unfortunate cases where a mother gives birth to more than one child with severe disability. To alleviate the burden of these children, I urge this House to support this Motion. I ask the Member for Malava, Hon. Malulu Injendi, to second the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
