    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, notwithstanding any other provision, the Child Welfare Society shall be the national adoption society whose function will be to provide adoption services on behalf of the Government. It shall be the approved society for purpose of care and is exempted from the provision of Section 177. Again this is what we have been canvassing the whole time. So, we have now just brought it to be clearly put there. Somebody had talked about the Child Welfare Society being created now. These were things that were done before I was born in the 50s. It was made an approved society in 1959 by WB Havelock when Kenya was still a protectorate. So, these are things that happened way before many of us in this House, probably even all of us were born in 1955 when Kenya was still a protectorate. It was made an adoption society in 1969. This organisation receives funding from this House to the time of Kshs900 million every year. It is funded by Government. We believe the Government must have a go-to place as far as adoptions are concerned. I beg to move that this section be read a Second Time."
