    "content": "Like I said, I live in a peri-urban place and we have schools, especially in urban centres. In some of those schools, we have children who come from wanting families. Like I have said, for some of them, a mother or father might be terminally ill, but they have children. In this country, there are children who go to school while hungry. They go to school to learn without food. I support this Bill because I expect that these to be some of the entry points that must be focused on. The approach that we must give this Bill is that it must be all-inclusive even in terms of Government structures. We must have different sectors that pay attention to these vulnerable groups. This is a Bill that expounds ideals that I believe in because I have lived seeing. These are ideals that will restore the dignity of a number of our people in the society. Like I have said, dignity ensures that people grow in a strong way. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I second this Bill, one thing that must be looked into is the Board that will be created. There will be a chairperson who will be appointed by the President and two principal secretaries. Those are national outfits. There is only one person who will be nominated by the Council of Governors (CoG). We must take note that social protection cuts across all levels of government. In any case, all vulnerable groups that we are talking about live in the counties. Therefore, there is need to look into the membership of Board, so that we bring in more representation of the counties. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I second this Bill."
