    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have street families in our towns and urban centres. These families must be rehabilitated and assured of their security. We must make sure that their children get proper education. It is vivid in our minds that our children have been defiled of late. Why are children being denied their basic rights? Why should we terminate the life of an innocent child? We have seen old and young people messing up our children. This is an area that needs to be addressed properly. Those major players in our country should be considered as we come to the appointment of Commissioners in this Commission. Teachers, principals, doctors, surveyors, pilots and registrars, among others, have done this country proud, but they have been neglected for a long time when it comes to these appointments. We should also consider the farming community when it comes to these appointments. These are people who have maintained life in this country. However, they have never been represented anywhere. It is high time that we considered members from the farming community and incorporated them in these appointments. Just the other day, we saw the corporate world doing Kenyans proud. They were able to raise close Kshs500 million to respond to the plight of starving Kenyans. What have we done for these people? Nobody has been considered. This is the prime time to think about them."
