    "content": "funding under the rescue, rehabilitation and reintegration of street families programme; NOTING THAT both the National and County Governments have a role to play in addressing the plight of street families across the Country; NOW THEREFORE the Senate resolves that Ministry of Devolution and ASAL Areas in collaboration with the Council of Governors (CoG)- (1) conducts a census of street families in all urban centres in the country to determine their numbers and demographics; (2) develops a clear policy on street families rehabilitation and reintegration at county level; and, (3) tables an audit report of how funds allocated to the SFRTF have been utilized since the Fund was established, indicating the impact of the rehabilitation exercise. Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of street families is not a new phenomenon but it gets worse every day. We see the rising number of street children in all the counties. There have been rehabilitative measures although they have remained inadequate because issues of street families are complex. Among the issues that must be addressed in rehabilitation need to include the well-being of these people, the process of integration into communities and self-dependency. If you go around the country especially in Nairobi City County at Grogan Street, you will find these street families and they stay under a bridge. Sometimes in the rainy season they are affected. Some of them have small children. There is nobody to take good care of them. Sometimes they are infected with diseases and coughs. We have some fund, which was meant to rehabilitate them. As of now, the Ministry has done nothing."
