    "content": "old? We have gone to children homes, especially private ones and we know that the highest number of abandoned children in any country are children with disabilities. It is children who are HIV positive. Go to private children homes and you will find no child with disability. Why? Because they are not sellable and they fetch no money. They are not good breeds for sale. You will not find children with HIV/AIDS yet we know they are the ones who are abandoned. What is the purpose of children homes? They are supposed to assist the most vulnerable children. I think the most vulnerable children are those with disabilities and those who are HIV positive. But you will not find them in private homes because this is a breeding ground for children to be sold. A child with disability is not a very good breed to be sold. It will not fetch any money. These children homes are selling our children. That is a fact. The Child Welfare Society of Kenya is a Government institution that is mandated to take care of our children. It is sponsored and supported by the Exchequer through this House. It has capacity and homes all over the country. It has enough personnel. It is supposed to take care of our children because it is a Government institution and it cannot sell our children. But the cartels in child trafficking are fighting the Child Welfare Society. In fact, a video was doing rounds which was an expose on the Child Welfare Society of Kenya misusing our children and treating them with drugs that are not prescribed by doctors. We know they were giving children supplements. Some of these are children with disabilities and require supplements. For example, children with cerebral palsy require supplements."
