From that incident, I learnt that time has come for us as leaders to look into issues of the boy-child and get to know what we can do for him. We need to set up mentorship programmes to cater for the boy-child from early stages, so that by the time they get to the age of 35, as per this Motion, they are well established and have the skills to face life. We also need to train our people in vocational skills that are required in this life. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support this Motion that has been brought by hon. Njuguna. Even as we set up different funds, we have to be careful on how these funds are implemented. We have challenges with the various funds that have been set up; most probably they are not getting to the target beneficiaries. There would be no point of setting up a fund which then does not benefit the targeted group. It is a good idea, but there must be a process through which these funds are distributed to reach the actual beneficiaries. I, therefore, support this Motion. I am happy with this House because it is looking at the affirmative action groups, especially the County Members of Parliament who require to be fully empowered, so that, as a nation, we can build this Kenya together."
