    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this very important Bill by my good friend, Sen. Ogola. I have perused through the Bill. Though I am particularly impressed with the thought in terms of policy and responsibilities, one thing that we forget - and this is what I mentioned to Sen. Ogola - is that in this country today, our doctors are on strike and we are here legislating to care for those children. Mr. Speaker, Sir, hypothetically, suppose there is a child out there who needs what we are proposing here, but cannot be given because we failed to bring proper negotiations on the table and putting those children ahead.

Ogola having even cared for future mothers. This is something most people do not even consider. We are only thinking of today, but not tomorrow. There are three important things in this Bill that I hope to demystify briefly. There is maternal which is separate; new born and the third part is the issue of child health. Sen. Ogola has taken the mother and proposed measures to ensure that they are taken care of, whether she is sane or not. In most cases when you pass in the streets, you will find a pregnant street woman or a pregnant mad woman. I thank my dear sister for thinking about every member of this society. We are all here today courtesy of children who were born - our electorates; the people who voted for us to be in this House in order for us to think about further generations. It is imperative that the first thing I request Sen. Ogola to do is to provide proper healthcare. Clause 8(1) states-"
