    "content": "Clause 28 is about records and what those records should entail, so that these children can always be followed and monitored at whatever point they may be. Clause 29 highlights specifics services that will be given. It states as follows:- “The manager of a home registered under this Act shall ensure that the following services are provided in the home – (a) twenty-four hour care and support services to children in the home; (b) care and supervision services to children in the home who may have special needs and those in need of special care and attention; (c) counselling and rehabilitation to a child who may have undergone any form of abuse or neglect; (d) outreach programmes; and (e) recreational activities.” Those children will have 24 hours care and support services. They will be exposed to outreach and recreational programmes, given health facilities and quality services and have continuous training, not only just educational but also cultural because it is critical. All these will help them to cope. The managers of homes will also have the responsibility of giving quarterly financial reports to the relevant CEC. The person delivering services should have the necessary experience, knowledge and skills. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have just picked a few relevant clauses that highlight the expectation of this Bill in terms of protection of the children, as enshrined in Article 53 of the Constitution. We should ensure that they are safe and sound in Kenya because they are our future leaders, and we have to take care of them. With those remarks, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and request Sen. (Rev.) Waqo to second."
