    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 64 of the Bill be amended in subsection (1) by inserting the following words “in every county” immediately after the words “child rescue centres”. I am seeking to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary in consultation with the Counsellor, and by Notice in the Gazette, establish child rescue centres in every county. Our counties have sufficient money to establish these centres. There is therefore, no reason for example to say that a child to being rescued in Homa Bay be taken to Migori, Kisumu or Kisii when we have county rescue centres. This will make our counties more responsible. I want to thank the Chair for some of the proposed amendments in the same clause which resonate well with reality. He proposes insertion of a new sub clause (7) which states: “A children rescue centre may admit a child to its care— (a) in an emergency situation and the child is referred to the centre by way of an interim care order or a care order; or (b) if the child is taken to the institution by an authorised officer or any person who has reasonable cause to believe that the child is in need of care and protection.” I support the proposals by the Committee that seek to ensure that each county has its own rescue centre. Thank you."
