    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. From the outset, I want to oppose that amendment. The reason is that we all appreciate and understand trafficking and vulnerability of children. Section 53(1) of the Constitution clearly elaborates how children are to be treated in this country. There is a line between children officers and Child Welfare Society. We are defining Child Welfare Society to be a national adoption society. Vulnerability of children is countrywide. You cannot give that responsibility to one adoption home. So, if there is a problem of vulnerability, for example, in Kisumu, Garissa or Tana River, the Child Welfare Society has to have the national face in protecting the vulnerable children. That is the essence of this clause. By deleting that, you are leaving the vulnerable children in the hands of people who might turn them into prostitutes and sell them. I oppose."
