    "content": "Clause 20 makes it an offence for the school administration to refuse to re-admit a child once they have given birth. Upon conviction, the school principal and every member of the school administration may be fined up to Ksh500,000 or jailed for six months, or both. Clause 21 provides for establishment of childcare centres in or within the vicinity of an institution of basic education. Clause 22 provides that childcare services are for the benefit of children less than three years old, whose parents are children who are being re-admitted to school. Clause 23 provides the requirements of a childcare centre, including its accessibility, affordability, ability to give adequate supervision to the children and availability of qualified personnel to cater for the children. Clauses 24 to 33 provide for licensing of childcare centres by counties. Counties are also required to enact legislation to guide the licensing process within the county. Clause 35 provides for services to be provided in a childcare centre, including the care and supervision of children, counselling of child parents, outreach programmes and recreational activities. Clause 37 provides for inspection and evaluation of safety in the care centre and the obligation to keep the premises safe for children. The centres should also have contacts of emergency service providers such as hospitals, ambulance services and firefighting services. Clause 42 provides for continued recognition of care centres already in existence and licensed. Implementation of the measures proposed in the Bill will ensure protection of child parents and ensure that the country moves closer to 100 per cent access to basic education by children in Kenya. Hon. Deputy Speaker, with those remarks, I beg to move and request Hon. Emaase to second."
