    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was only trying to build a point. Why all this interest and haste? People are raising points of order because of conflict of interest. I have painfully heard that Hon. Otiende Amollo seconded the Bill. We support this Bill. What I am saying is that, as a House, we should make sure that there is nothing like international adoption. The Child Welfare Society of Kenya, against what Hon. Milly Odhiambo has said, is an important stakeholder. As a Committee, we visited the Child Welfare Society, and the Mama Ngina Children’s Home. That is the only place where you can find children with disability. If you can remember, I rescued Ben Busia from Narok where he was detained in a kennel for almost 10 years. He is now housed at the Child Welfare Society. You cannot find children with disabilities like cerebral palsy, who are abandoned in large numbers, in private children’s homes because they cannot fetch them any money. We have enough parents in this country who can adopt children. There is a committee of experts’ report that indicated that for every abandoned child in Kenya, there are six Kenyan parents who are willing to adopt them. However, because they cannot pay more money like foreign parents, these children are not given for adoption within our country. Cartels are fighting for us to return international adoption so that they can sell our children overseas for child trafficking, organ harvesting and sex abuse. We will not do that. I urge this House to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
