    "content": "I know that the CWSK has proposed to have their Bill, which we welcome. The Committee welcomes that only that we do not have enough time to process it. That would have been the best way. But, in the absence of that substantive Bill, what do we rely on to know what to be overseeing, if we do not define the functions and then expect those functions to be prosecuted through the budget that we allocate to them? How else do we play oversight role? We need to have it. The way we were bringing it, after a lot of discussion, was to clarify the functions of the CS and the functions of the National Council for Children Services. That is another body. Then the CWSK, with all due respect, cannot be equated to children welfare homes. This is an organisation that covers the entire Kenya. This is an organisation that funds children who are in school. This is an organisation that looks at children who are in danger of hunger throughout Kenya. While the Kenya Red Cross Society concentrates on adults, the CWSK concentrates on children. How are we replacing it if we were to completely remove it from our systems?"
