We cannot celebrate the arrangements in communities if we do not invest in programmes that will enhance cohesiveness, integration, communal approach and socio-economic development. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would like to focus more specifically on the issues of the Kenyan children, who are orphaned because of the of HIV/AIDS. Many children in the countryside have never seen their mothers and fathers, and they live with their grandmothers and grandfathers. There is the issue of cash-transfer through which these grandmothers and grandfathers are subsidized; a stipend has been recommended every now and again, but has remained a kind of a lip service to the people. The time is now; let us actualize this spirit of cash-transfer to poor grandmothers and grandfathers, who take care of their grandchildren and. It is very important that we be mindful of this because we have a lot of challenges in the countryside. On the issue of the health of some of these old people, they are stressed and we lose them every now and again because of the poor state of healthcare. Some wards and locations do not have health facilities and it is important to follow up with the spirit that was highlighted by the President in his Address to show indication of interest to improve services; In every location or sub-location, we should have health facilities with the necessary equipment and personnel to provide basic healthcare to Kenyans. This is because due to poverty, Kenyans die of simple ailments like malaria and, indeed, depression. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to support."
