    "content": "was stopped by the industry. I want to appeal to you. I know what is happening, but even amendments are brought on the Floor; this will not be the first time. I want to appeal to hon. Members to think of that child who cannot be here to speak for himself or herself. We need to put profits behind us and put the welfare of our children ahead of us. I would think that these women here who have not talked are the ones who have breastfed. We have children and we know about complementary foods. So, we would really appreciate it if our male colleagues also appreciated the importance of children being well fed. Kenya is among the last 25 countries to implement this Bill. Our Constitution says that the international laws and resolutions become part of our laws. This Bill, most of it, is about what has been decided at the UN level and there is nothing injurious to our children. We would be the last ones to bring anything that would injure the children. So, we can all read and follow this matter. For all those who are saying that they have brought amendments, I have seen them. I have seen those by Mr. C. Kilonzo and Mr. Keter. There is really absolutely nothing new to study unless the motive is to delay this Bill like it has been delayed over the last ten years. Once, it even disappeared from the Attorney-General’s Office and it took long to be published. I want to really urge you. I want to plead with you that we go ahead and pass this Bill for the sake of our children. We will still discuss the amendments. I know you are all very brilliant legislators and this is a simple Bill which you can follow in a moment’s notice. As hon. Karua has said, this Bill has been on the Order Paper for a long time. There is absolutely no reason to delay this Bill."
