    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Minister for a very well-crafted Bill. I want to thank the Minister that within the short time that he has been at the Ministry, he has done an excellent job albeit sometimes with a little drama. But I think it is because he epitomizes the rights of the child as enshrined in the Constitution which is the right to dress and the right to play. So, Minister, please continue protecting the rights of our children in the Ministry. I also want to laud the Minister for variably handling the teachers strike and for remembering our teachers who sometimes we forget and who are the sole reason that we are here today. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I just want to laud especially the provisions in relation to the values under Clause 3. These are:- (i) The value on the right of every child to free and compulsory basic education. (ii) The value on promotion of peace, integration, cohesion, tolerance and inclusion and promotion of good governance, participation and inclusiveness. (iii) Elimination of gender discrimination, corporal punishment or any other form of cruel and inhuman treatment or torture. (iv) Promotion of innovativeness, inventiveness, creativity, technology transfer and entrepreneur culture (v) Non-discrimination and protection of the marginalized. However, I would want to encourage the Minister that you need to very specifically provide for the promotion of child participation as a value on its own and also provide for promotion of the child’s right to play as a value on its own because when we grew up, we had a lot of time to play and we therefore grew up in a very wholesome manner. Indeed, I am part of a network of an alumni of my old school Homa Bay Primary School and we were just reminiscing yesterday about how we used to play"
