    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also support the Bill. From the outset, I support the Bill. Social protection refers to a set of policies and programmes aimed at protecting people from poverty, especially vulnerable groups throughout their lives. Kenya has tried to bring up social protection programmes. According to the 2023 Social Protection Policy, there are four pillars: income security, social health protection, shock- responsive protection, and complementary programmes. It is from this policy that we have this Bill that is supposed to actualise it. Currently, Kenya provides three types of social protection: cash transfers, access to basic healthcare, and enhanced social support. On cash transfers, everybody is aware that the Government has been disbursing Ksh2,000 to persons aged 20 years and above, as well as to persons with disabilities."
