    "content": " Let us take away emotions when we discuss this. We are here to make legislation which is good for everybody. It is perfectly in order and everybody wants us to have an adoption society which is a regulatory body. The problem is that we have to see what this thing called the Child Welfare Society of Kenya is. The Child Welfare Society of Kenya is an agency established under the State Corporations Act as an order. This is where the problem is. For you to bring it in a legislation and for you to put it in the body of the legislation, you first need to establish it as a legal entity. Right now it subsists as a presidential executive order under the Corporations Act. This is the point that we are doing. What happens is that when the President decides to give another or the other, the good intentions in what you are doing will be lost. It is because we have a lot of agencies out there who are craving for the attention of the President to be appointed under the State Corporations Act. So, we are with you Member for Homa Bay Constituency. You are very passionate about this; I need you to listen. We are with you in this. Please help us put this Child Welfare Society of Kenya as part of statute law. This is where we had problems with the Wildlife Society of Kenya. We gave them money and discovered that they are not an organisation which should have a vote yet we gave them money from this House. So, it is that accountability that we are talking about. We can have a body that we can bring to this House and it will respond to us and to the Office of the President through the State Corporations Act. This is the point."
