    "content": "Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me be clear. What I mean is that even some of the hon. Members here can have children who are on the streets. You can have a girlfriend somewhere and you refuse to take responsibility and say that the child is not yours. As a result, that poor girl will throw away or abandon the child. That is why I am saying if a DNA test can be conducted, we may be surprised to see the number of executive people in high offices having children living in the streets. I hope I am clear. We all know the important role played by the church. Many churches have orphanages and some have played a big role to educate children. I think the best thing the Government can do is to- (1) Consider street families for this housing project (2) Come up with proper planning for their education so that they can be educated and in future they can be able to depend on themselves. (3) Conduct a census of the street families and also come up with clear policies, so that we know how we can take care of the street children. I also support the idea of coming up with an audit report, so that we know how funds have been utilized. Madam Temporary Speaker, our society is very corrupt especially when it comes to disadvantaged people. People take advantage of them and exploit them. Some people have become rich using these funds and a proper audit can always help us. I support the Motion and it is my prayer that one day we will have our cities minus the street children. Thank you."
