    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) There is no current and reliable statistics on the number and ages of street children in Mombasa, since no proper census has been done. However, in the year 2000, it was estimated that there were over 6,000 street children in Mombasa. (b) In 2008, my Ministry, in conjunction with the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government, Municipal Council of Mombasa and UNICEF established a child protection centre at Tononoka Social Hall in Mombasa. At the centre, the children receive various services such as hygiene, sanitation, nutritional support, recreation facilities, referrals, reintegration and counseling/psychosocial support as well as facilitation to go back to school and training in vocational skills. To date, over 900 children and youth have benefited from the services at the centre and since January of this year, the centre has registered 520 children from the streets who are currently receiving both formal and non-formal education."
