    "content": "Another important point that has been made is the need to create a special vote in the budget to ensure that money is given to the various homes in the counties because the issue of financing keeps coming up. It came up in Kitui when we visited some of the homes. There is some contradiction on who should be in charge of the vote. Should it be at the national or county level? That is a substantive issue that the Senate Committee on Education has taken up. Sometimes it is just legislation or policy lapse in terms of implementation, but it is the children who suffer because their rights are taken away. They suffer because they do not even have enough to eat. Sen. Wetangula said that they are given pieces of meat the size of his thumb nail whereas somebody else could be having a half a kilogramme of meat. There is also the question of them being taken to hospital when there is need and being exposed to role models and their aspirations and dreams. That is what life is made of so that they feel they can get to important places. Another important issue that has been raised is ensuring that we have county legislation. The concerns of some Senators who spoke have been addressed to some extent. Others pointed out that various clauses need to be streamlined further, but the Bill has thoroughly looked at the whole issue of how the homes will be established.
