    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware of the constitutional provisions with regard to the protection of the rights of Kenyans. However, Section 72(1)(f) states that:- \"No person shall be deprived of his personal liberty save as may be authorised by law in any of the following cases- (f) in the case of a person who has not attained the age of 18 years for the purposes of his education or welfare\". Mr. Speaker, Sir, Section 4(2) of the Children's Act, 2001, deals with the survival or the best interest of the child. It says that:- \"All forms and all actions concerning children, whether undertaken by public or private social welfare institutions, by cause of law by administrative authorities such as the Provincial Administration or legislative bodies, the best interest of the child shall be a primary consideration\". Mr. Speaker, Sir, the due process, to some extent, was followed in this case. If this child cannot be accepted back at Bislil Secondary School, we will be very happy since she is not in our hands any more. I would like to advise the hon. Member to get a good school for her nearer home and offer her a scholarship. The information I have is that the mother of the girl, who is a widow, is not in a position, at the moment, to take care of the child. OUTBREAK OF PESTE DES PETITS RUMINANTS IN WAMBA DIVISION"
