    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also rise to support the Petition. Indeed, the Girls Guides Act, Cap. 220 is a colonial relic. Progressively, we neglected most of the pieces of legislation that we should have seized and moved on to breathe some new life. An Act that was created by the Great Britain through a Royal Charter clearly cannot cater for the interests of our domestic situations. I, therefore, see the sense in coming up with a Kenya Girl Guides Act to establish a board because as it were, the Petitioners say that it limits the mandate of the girl guides. I would also imagine that we need to relook at the law that is in operation in the scouts’ movement. I know for a fact that there is the late Baden Powell site in Nyeri. It has never expanded. One of the reasons why it does not expand is because we do not have a stand-alone legislation or a review of the laws that were left behind by the colonialists. It behoves us as the 11th Parliament to take into consideration not just the Kenya Girl Guides Association, but also relook holistically into the laws that were created by the colonialists, and they are many, so that we factor them in our The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
