    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the background of the matter is that two girls of about 18 years old had babies from one boy. Both of them went to the boy's house, demanding to be married by the boy. There was a small fracas and the assistant chief came and arrested them. He took them to Kabiyet Police Post and one of them was given bond. The other one who could not bribe the officers was not released. I have the history of that matter. From 9th July, 2005 up to 19th July, 2005, she was in the cell. She was getting only one meal per day and yet, she was breast-feeding. She was kept in the cell without being taken to Kapsabet Court. So, one day, when an opportunity became available, and because she was almost starving, she ran away. The question is: If the mother ran away, does the law permit a policeman to keep a young child? Is he or she not supposed to take the child to the girl's parents? They should have simply called the Assistant Chief or the girl's parents. Alternatively, they should have taken the child to the Childrens' Department! Why 600 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 20, 2006 was that not done?"
