It should not be limited to mothers only, but the different groups. As I sympathise with the mothers, I have had that sad and unfortunate experience. My sister underwent this challenge, which was why I stayed behind to support this Motion. view

• 10 Nov 2022 in Senate: I looked at how Nyandarua County, where I come from, was dealing with the COVID menace. They were not getting a new ward.

They should not feel like we have rejected them or we are not sympathizing enough. As we get the separate wards, they should be accompanied by specialists who will be taking care of them. These will include and not limited to counselling support. view
