    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to do this. I second this Bill that seeks to provide a framework for the registration and licensing of children’s homes. As the Mover has already said, this is a very important Bill. I congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this Bill that seeks to take care of the needy children in our society. The number of orphans in our country is growing. Unless we provide safe children’s homes that can take care of them and give them all the opportunity they need, we may not be able to take care of them. I have managed to go through the Bill and it captures all areas very well. Part I provides the framework and registration. Part II is about care and protection of neglected children. It proposes that children have a right to basic education, shelter, health and everything. Part III is about establishment of children’s homes and conditions in which they should be. Part IV deals with the care of the children within children’s homes. This Bill will provide guidelines because in Kenya many people take the opportunity to exploit those children. Some of them are even mistreated in the children’s homes. Once this Bill is effected, it will enable us to protect our children in the homes. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
