    "content": "In fact, that is how I wanted to spend it. I want to be specific on the issue of children who always become victims of circumstances. I think that the Government is one of the agents of abuse of children in this country. During evictions in Kariobangi and Mau Forest, children are not taken care of by the Government. They make them suffer because of their parents. I tend to think that when there are evictions, the Government should, in advance consider the lives and welfare of the children. The Government should take the lead in protecting children, particularly in such circumstances. Madam Deputy Speaker, the way we bring up our children at the moment determines what they will become in future. When we subject them to so much suffering, we are instilling bitterness in them that they will carry on to the future. The way we treat our children is what we expect them to become in the future. The Government should be serious about this matter and take the lead in protecting our children. Even in the case that Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve was talking about in Bomet, we informed the Government in advance about what was going on. However, they did not take it seriously until the man went back to America only to be convicted there, yet nothing could happen here in Kenya. The Government should take a lead in protecting our children. Thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
