    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for according me this opportunity. I would like to support this Sessional Paper on Child Labour. Child labour is practical especially in the rural areas and towns in this country. At the end of the day, we will breed people who will not go to school, are not self-reliant and will eventually become thugs. I consider this Sessional Paper an important tool towards implementing policies that will assist the country alleviate this problem. The Government needs to allocate funds to the Ministry of Labour, Social Security and Services to assist those children, especially orphans, who have been left alone and have nothing else to do but to fend for themselves in the society. We need to provide food, finance their education and provide guidance and counselling. We need to have structures within the county governments and the national Government to see to it that child labour and the census of these children are taken into account. This is especially in areas where we have cash crops, so that companies or organisations protect children. I advocate for the funding of this area so that we can take care of our children. I support the Policy."
