Thank you Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 75. The proposal is to remove approved officers from the Bill to avoid conflict of powers with the authorised officers who have the same function as prescribed in this Bill. So, we are trying to avoid conflict in the implementation of the Bill. I thank you.

Thank you Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 76 of the Bill be amended by deleting the word “Director” and substituting therefor the word “Secretary” This is about nomenclature. The Directorate of Children Services is no longer headed by a Director, but by a Secretary in terms of title. I thank you Hon. Chairman.

It is about there being order in the way we implement activities especially activities that relate to our children. Just as the honourable Member alluded to, here could be several people implementing activities relating to the girl child in a given county. If the council is not aware, the boy child will be left ...

Hon. Chairman, I am trying to read what is included in the Bill itself. I would want the proposer to also read Clause 77(2) of the Bill because in my opinion, it is not in line with what she is explaining. Please read Clause 77(2) of the Bill so that we can be on the same page. This is about information relating to the proposed Child Welfare Programme referred to in sub-clause (1). All we are saying is that the council, having been notified, can approve or disapprove. This is what we are saying is very necessary. We cannot allow ...
