    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I recall that when I was studying Mathematics in primary and secondary school, there used to be relief for single people, called ‘singles relief.’ I wonder if that relief is still there in the computation of taxes. It was a completely misplaced relief. If there is going to be a relief, let it be a disability relief. There should be relief to caregivers and parents or the children that have been described by Sen. Omanga. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Cash Transfer Program is an innovative idea which has been implemented badly. Every time I meet elders in the village, their biggest concern is that they do not receive the money meant for elders. We need to make it work for the elderly and vulnerable, that we intended it to work for. We should also include the caregivers, as proposed by Sen. Omanga. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this and I encourage parents to take children as a blessing when God answers their prayer by giving them a child or even when they get a child without asking God for it, because God will always bless them. They should take the child as a blessing. A parent who throws a child given to them by God because of a certain condition could be throwing another Stephen Hawking or a genius who would have shaped the direction and the future of this world. Unfortunately, we do not have a Committee on Implementation. However, Sen. Omanga should take it up with the relevant Committee and ensure that this Motion is implemented. If it cannot be implemented nationwide, she should start with City Hall, which is just 200 meters away. Let us see a county taking care of the weakest and the most vulnerable in society."
