    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to join the others in congratulating Dr. Joyce Laboso for having brought this Bill to the House. From the outset, I also want to put a request to her for some reasons. I want her to hold on (if she will accept) and wait for the following things that we, as a Ministry, are doing. We passed the National Social Security Policy through the Cabinet and the procurement for printing took a bit long. However, it is now at the printing stage and it will come for debate on the Floor of this House. My sister here has dealt with the social assistance where already there is goodwill coming from the Government side. Since there is goodwill coming from the Government side – that spends about Kshs6.2 billion on social assistance right now - we appreciate that there are important points in this Bill which will be very useful. Owing to the goodwill coming from the Government, once the Sesssional Paper on Social Protection is brought to Floor of the House, it will be obvious that we will move with the Bill of Dr. Joyce Laboso so that we put everything together and read from the same script. What is also coming out of the policy is that we also have a Draft Bill on the National Social Protection Council which will put everything under one umbrella considering that we have the NSSF which is operating through an Act of Parliament and the NHIF."
