    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to also stand and support this important Motion. I also congratulate Sen. Omanga for coming up with it. I have observed a lot of passion in Sen. Omanga, because it is not her first time to talk about this and to also share. I have interacted with her in a Committee, and she has always talked about this. It is an area that many of us share a lot of concern. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I went through this Motion today and even before, I realised that the parents of the children who are born with neurological disorders are the most disadvantaged and depressed people. I am saying this because I have interacted with others in my county, and I know the challenges they have and continue to go through. It is does not matter how old the child is; some are even 20 years and above, but the parent – especially the mothers – are the people who struggle. Madam Temporary Speaker, any society that has no plan to take care of the needy and the people who need their support, then is not a society that can be admired. It is not a society that can help one another to grow. As the Motion clearly says, cerebral palsy, downs syndrome, autism and other permanent motor and neurological disorders are birth defects characterised by anger, disturbances or sensation, perception, cognition, hearing loss and others.
