    "content": "institution should have. Work places must also know the number of, say, tables or beds they need in order to fulfil this requirement of the law. For instance, here in Parliament, how many ladies with babies do we have? If it is a school, the number of lady teachers should also be known. This will help in planning. Therefore, the Bill should spell out the requirement that establishments need to provide for facilities that are adequate. In that case, it would be a watertight law and establishment would be bound to provide adequate nursing spaces for breastfeeding mothers. There is also the issue of working hours. The Bill states that lactating mothers should be given at least 40 minutes to breastfeed their children within a period of four hours. Forty minutes for breastfeeding is too much because the baby will not breastfeed for all those minutes! It should be reasonable time. Once the baby is fed, then the mother should go back to work. There is a possibility of some mothers abusing the law and resorting to malingering. We need to change it to some reasonable time. I also support the fact that any institution which will not effect the provisions of this Bill, will have breached the law. A fine of Kshs500,000 has been prescribed for those who fall culprit. In my view, it is quite punitive. We should consider lowering it. I support the Bill. When it comes to the Committee of the whole House, I will propose some amendments so that we can polish it further."
