Our streets are frequented by boys and girls sniffing glue. During the implementation of this policy, the Government must allocate funds to address child labour. If we fail to do that, our children will be roaming the streets and growing up to become dangerous criminals. We will have an increase in criminal activities. Hon. Speaker, we must support poor families living in informal settlements, especially in urban centres like Nairobi. Children in those areas already have babies when they are aged between 10 and 12. I was shocked to establish that fact when I was campaigning. When parents are engaged in liquor business, they sell off their children to their customers. Children go through a lot of abuse that might not be seen. Children do not go to school in areas with large coffee and tea plantations. They would rather be engaged in picking tea and coffee than go to school. They are sometimes hired out to work and earn money for their families."
