    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. At the outset, I stand to support the Social Protection Bill, 2025. The Bill and the programme it intends to create are important. It has come at a timely moment in our country. The principal object of the Bill is to reduce poverty and vulnerability. A lot of Kenyans have fallen into poverty as a result of vulnerabilities resulting from many things happening around us, including conflicts, pandemics, recessions, environmental disruptions and economic crisis. The Bill is aimed at improving the well-being of the people by providing assistance and services and programmes that build human capital and cushion people against risks and contingencies throughout their life cycle. It aims at expanding the already existing social safety programme. Currently, the Government spends up to Ksh31.3 billion to support the elderly, persons with disabilities and orphans. This Bill intends to expand that bracket to include and cushion workers affected by disruptions such as loss of job."
