    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support. As we speak about child labour, the only thing I would like to mention is that we need to define what child labour is. In my county where we have tea and coffee farms, we have many children who are normally sent to the coffee estates to pick coffee. This is the case and yet some of these children need to go to school. We should take measures against parents who do not take their children to school. As the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology, the Government provides free primary education and so it is the role of parents to ensure that their children are not going to coffee and tea farms but go to school. It is also important that we look at the coastal regions where we have children working in hotels and others practising prostitution. So, we should protect children because they are the future of this nation."
