    "content": " Absolutely, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue of street families in this country is something that has been on and off all through. I know the difficulty in which the Chairperson, who sits on our side, can find himself in because our philosophy, ideology and manifesto about dealing with street families is not the same as the other side that prides in looting public funds every day. Could the Chairperson tell us whether the national Government is ready to partner with county governments in provision of funds, facilities for settlement, housing, food and other amenities, including taking children to school, so that street facilities can be managed properly and eventually eliminated with proper structures and philosophy of Government? This is because street families are found in urban areas in the counties. We do not want kneejerk and tribalist reactions, like what we saw in Eldoret where the Governor of Uasin Gishu rounded up street families that belonged to communities from the Western part of Kenya, dumped them on the highway in Busia and left. We are taking legal action against him. However, that is not a solution to street families."
