    "content": "Sen. Murkomen alluded to the dangers that these families face. He alluded to the cases of the young people. No Kenyan should sleep pretty knowing that somebody else is sleeping in the cold and cannot take care of themselves. If there has been trust fund money and it has not helped these families, we need to address that very seriously. People have to go back to the drawing board and analyze what is going on. There are many skills among these children, hope and a number of things that they can do. This Motion has been well supported and I think that it is a Bill in the making. That Bill will enhance and put the legislative framework and accountability mechanism which will create provisions for questioning such funds for them to be used appropriately. In some countries, we have education programmes for these children for them to be useful to the society. The young man was just lucky to have got some funding from somewhere which enabled him to mainstream himself but that has not been the case. Apart from looking at this from a macro or a national perspective, the county perspective becomes very important. Some children in the streets could be there because they are lost and it would be easy to look for their parents and take back them back home for them to be rehabilitated. That will help them move to the next level. I think the problem is that we are missing coordination. Street families are a phenomenon that is happening, but it has been controlled before. Street families do pose a danger to the society in terms of criminality and we have to think about it. I congratulate Sen. Kwamboka and I would like to encourage her to work on a Bill for us to solve the street families‟ problem once and for all."
