    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. As we go on recess, the Minister needs to indicate that when we resume in the New Year, we will make a follow up from where we are stopping so that we are able to pass the Finance Bill and debate the issues that affect this country especially the interest rates for Kenyans who take loans from our banks. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I would like to ask the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and the Ministry of Health, to reflect as we go on recess. This is one of the countries that losses over 500 children at the age of below of five years. We cannot afford to be losing such a big number of children. It requires the interest of the Government to fund sufficiently the conditions that lead to deaths of children in that magnitude. There is also an important area of mothers who die in conditions that are related to child bearing. In every 100,000 Kenyan mothers, we lose a very high number. It is important that as we come back, and I want the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance to note this, that unless we are concerned about the lives we lose, for mothers and children, then we are a country that does not invest in our future."
