    "content": "News. The street girl expressed frustration and helplessness after her baby was stolen and probably given away. Allow me to quote the girl who said, \"Hata kama nikokwa streets sijashindwa kulea\", meaning, even if I am on the streets, I am not unable to raise my baby. Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are instances where the media has depicted situations where mothers have claimed that they had been told that their babies had died shortly upon delivery. In some cases, they were shown a dead baby or none. In Kenya, at one time, a bishop claimed to have had powers of performing miracles of affording barren women children. His church was full to the brim because of his manipulative actions. It was later discovered that he was involved in a child trafficking syndicate. He was accused of stealing five babies between 1999 and 2004. His matter was investigated both in Kenya and in the UK. Upon the bishop's return to Kenya, he was freed on a Kshs10 million bond. Despite his heinous acts, he still got a lot of media coverage and won the admiration of his fellow bishops. Children are trafficked for various reasons, some of which are exploitation, forced labour, recruitment into gangs, warfare, slavery and other economic purposes. Children are the most vulnerable members of our society. They are vulnerable to malnutrition, physical and psychological malpractices and they rely on adults to enforce their human rights. It is unfortunate and ironic that the same adults who ought to help in realising children's rights as human beings are the same ones who are unjust and are at the frontline of flouting these rights.
