    "content": "that a person living with a disability is a sign of a curse in the family. As a result, these families hide their children. They do not take them to school. That is why we must carry out door-to- door registration to identify them from birth - hata kama amezaliwa leo . From there, caregivers must also be provided with proper equipment. Some caregivers know what to do, but they lack equipment. Others may not know, but they have the heart to help. With the right motivation, they would do much better. Our health sector must allocate more resources to this effort, and even village dispensaries should have a dedicated wing for persons living with disabilities, staffed with qualified personnel. Caregivers, too, face physical exhaustion. They hardly sleep. They are deprived. If they are already facing such challenges, yet their motivation is zero, we are failing them. Some of them do not even receive the little money allocated to them. If you ask around, some caregivers receive the funds, but many do not. Even when they do, there are delays. If one receives Ksh2,000 a month, but it is delayed by two months, that only worsens an already difficult situation. You are making it worse. I thank my senior brother, Hon. Wangwe, for this intensive and well-done job. I second, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
