    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I need to be protected since there is a lot of noise. The opinion given by the Chair is one of the best taking into account that in Kenya, we have what we call the Children Act that protects the rights of children not to be abused or misused in any form. In our African customs, when you have a baby, you cannot bring him or her to this crowd of over 400 Members of Parliament knowing that the baby’s immunity is too low and he or she can be infected at any stage by any form of disease. We are not saying that we have diseases here, but a baby’s immunity is too low and requires protection from fathers and mothers. As fathers, we are saying that the baby’s right must be protected. What my learned friend, Hon. Kaluma, wants to tell this Chamber is that the baby has no right at all to exist or to be protected. I remember in the 1993 when I had my first baby, the baby was seen by some people and he cried throughout the day. In some instances, the baby may come here and when he gets out, something unexpected happens to him. I support the ruling. Thank you.
