    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. I rise to strongly oppose ratification of the three Hague Conventions relating to matters children. Let us not allow international organisations to give us directions on how to handle affairs of our children. If we ratify, we are going to give foreign court’s jurisdiction over the children of Kenya which is not right. The children of Kenya are guarded by enough laws that were passed by this Parliament. So, we should not accept any laws from outside to subject our children into activities that are not normal to the African culture. We shall be subordinating our Constitution, the Children Act, and other laws we passed related to children by accepting these laws. So, I strongly oppose the ratification of these laws."
