    "content": "I would like to focus on the issue of orphans in Kenya, specifically those who are orphaned because of HIV-AIDS. Many children in the country side do not have parents. They live with their grandparents. The grandparents should be subsidized through a cash transfer or a stipend. This has been recommended severally, but has always remained as lip service to the people. The time is now. Let us actualize this spirit of cash transfer to poor grandparents who are taking care of orphans of their late sons and daughters. We should be mindful of this. We have a lot of challenges in the countryside. On the issue of health care, some of these old people are stressed and we lose them every now and then because of poor health care. Some wards and locations do not have health facilities. It is important, just to follow up with the spirit that was highlighted by the President in his Speech, to show indication of interest to improve these services, so that at every locational and sub-locational level, we have health facilities with the necessary equipment and personnel to provide basic health care to Kenyans in the countryside. Coupled with the challenges of poverty, Kenyans die from simple ailments like Malaria and depression."
