    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.059/2019. The Question is addressed to the Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection. (i) What action is the Cabinet Secretary taking to ensure that children in need of care and protection are placed in “family-based” care such as foster homes, adoption guardianship or kinship care as opposed to children’s homes which have been mushrooming, and in some cases, for reasons that are not in the best interest of children? (ii) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a list of all duly registered children’s homes in the Country, indicating their location in terms of constituencies and counties, and whether they are administered by Kenyan nationals or foreigners? (iii) What policy direction exists in the National Council for Children Services to safeguard children and ensure they are not stolen, trafficked or abused by duty bearers and care givers in hospitals, homes, schools, families and religious institutions?"
