    "content": "When my sister Rahma was contributing, she said adopting a child is giving an opportunity to the future president of this nation. It is an opportunity we are giving to the Kenyan children, so that they can have a future and bright opportunities in a different environment. This will give a child an opportunity to get the basic needs like education and health, which are guaranteed in our Constitution. Our Government is not giving children their rights. So, if a person opts to support its efforts, it is important for the Government to give that person incentives for taking its responsibility in order to cater for a child in need. By giving that incentive to the working-class parents, they will accommodate more children. I am a founder of an orphanage with over 250 children and I know they are there, not because they love it, but because of the problems they face. We have failed as a system. Our traditional system structures and the Government have failed to take care of the children. That is why we see some people giving themselves the responsibility of taking care of these children. So, any Kenyan who takes this kind of responsibility should be given an incentive including tax exemption, so that we can take care of the children of this country. With those few remarks, I support this Bill 100 per cent."
