    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to thank my colleagues for their detailed contributions to this Bill. I agree with them that it is an important Bill for our counties. With regard to education, we should allocate bursary funds appropriately to ensure that the beneficiaries access the funds for all the four years in school. It should be on record how many students should access the education funds for the four years and those who need support for a limited time. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I agree with Sen. Omondi on issues to deal with people with disabilities. The social services docket is important. Sometimes we make assumptions that all that people living with disabilities need wheelchairs and that it is a devolved function. It is important to note how many need aiding sticks, among others. She brought up an important issue. We need to know how many youth are accessing the 30 per cent allocation of all Government procurement tenders for the youth. Alongside many other issues raised, Sen. Murkomen has said that it is not only about collecting the data but also interrogating some of the available data. I thank all my colleagues and I hope that they will support the Bill during Division. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and further request that we defer putting the Question to tomorrow pursuant to Standing Order No.54 (3)."
