    "content": "Those families also use drugs with the intention of forgetting their troubles but they end up facing the same problem the next day. I thank Sen. Kasanga for coming with a Bill on mental health. Depression is affecting street families. The Ministry should work with the counties with the intention of coming up with policies that will help solve this problem. They have to sensitize people about the street families and they should integrate those families with the society. According to the statistics by the Consortium for Street Children (CSC), there are 300,000 children living in the streets across Kenya of which about 60,000 are in Nairobi. That research was conducted during the 2009 census. The numbers must have gone up by now. If you walk in the streets of Nairobi, you will realize that the rights of those children are being violated. Their parents sit and ask the children to collect money from people who are driving. They do that for them to get money to buy food. When they fail to do that, they are beaten and are not given food. That is why I came up with this Motion and I want to tell Sen. (Dr.) Zani that I am working on a Bill regarding this. I know that she is passionate about the street families and will support that Bill. I beg to reply."
