Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Let me support this amendment because I think it is important because of the current problem of child trafficking. We have to put punitive measures to stop it. I support.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I said in the morning that it would be very important for Members to listen before they make a decision. I said what we are doing might one day come back to haunt us. I want to thank God that now we can see where the problem is. We know there is a problem called child trafficking in Kenya. Even if we want to address that problem, it must be addressed properly – in a way that whoever will be in charge of that part of the whole exercise will be accountable ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am actually surprised by what we are discussing. We are reviewing 2001 Act. I am wondering why the Committee could not just take up the matter and bring the whole Act with all the amendments. What we are discussing is very substantial. I do not know why we want to discuss them under miscellaneous law.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, you hear people use words like “voting machines” because this is a debating Chamber and as many people as possible should be allowed to present their case. When one is speaking and a Member says we put the Question ….
