    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I pointed out in the morning that the measure of poverty is called the foot poverty line, which calculates what the nutrition or food energy requirements are per person. It is weighed against the actual food expenditure of a household or a person and then we put you either above or below the poverty line. According to the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) in their study of 2022, the poverty rates are lowest in Nairobi at 16.5 per cent and highest at 82.7 per cent in Turkana County. I am giving this background so that we can understand how to identify those we classify as needy. When I read this proposed Bill, I am a little worried that the classification may not be very scientific because we are using very general terms like “persons in need, orphans or vulnerable children.”"
