    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support The HIV and AIDS Prevention and Control (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bill No.4 of 2015) that was brought to this House by Sen. (Dr.) Machage. I support it because of two reasons. The issue of HIV/AIDS needs a lot of sensitization or civic education. Therefore, if managed by county governments, community members will receive the right education about it. It should not only be about sensitization on the stigma about HIV/AIDS but also relate to the economic activities that the people are supposed to get from the county governments. All of us know that if you are not infected, then, definitely, you are affected. This is because very many people at the community level have been taking care of those infected. This group needs a lot of economic activities planned through the proper structure. Therefore, I support the idea that county governments should manage HIV/AIDS sensitization. That needs a lot of education. I know that many die of stigma. That is because they do not receive the right information. That is why some are very stressed to the point of even dying, not because of the ailment but the stigma. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support the amendment Bill that was brought by Sen. (Dr.) Sen. (Dr.) Machage. The issue of HIV/AIDS prevention and control should be managed by county governments, specifically, the CEC member in charge of health. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
