• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, you know we are dealing with a very important issue that has been a problem to many Kenyans and children find themselves in problems especially on parental responsibilities. Whereas Hon. Millie’s short form of this particular clause as put by the Leader... She never mentioned how she is dealing with numbers 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11. She only went up to number 6 and in going through number 1 to 6, she is just summarising, as put by the Leader of the Majority Party. The Committee feels that this clause needs a lot of clarity ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: happen. We have many children who find themselves in such situations where the mother gets married, comes with a child and if the law does not provide for that particular child to be well treated, there could be some discrimination in this case by either of the parents. Therefore, for us as a Committee we feel that we need not summarise this. We need to go into the expanded form because it has no harm and it takes care of situations that are real on the ground. The Committee feels that the proposal by Hon. Millie is not acceptable to ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 33 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (3)(c) by deleting the word “Director” and substituting therefor the word “Secretary”. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: As I have said, this is one of the amendments that I have said that are repetitive. We are simply deleting the word “Director” and replacing it with the word “Secretary” to align the nomenclature changes in the Directorate of Children Services which is now headed by the Secretary of Children Services. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: First and foremost, let me say to Hon. Millie that all is not lost, because we can still consult and recommit Clause 30 of the Bill in the normal way of our discussion with you. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Hon. Millie mentioned or pointed out important issues about the CWSK. We know that there have been a lot of interests in children affairs in this country. We know that there has been a lot of infighting within the Ministry and outside. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, what you have just read may be a letter which, with due respect, should have also been shared with the Committee so that the Committee can also be in the know of whoever is interested in that matter. I go by what Hon. Millie mentioned, that how it came to ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I know that the CWSK has proposed to have their Bill, which we welcome. The Committee welcomes that only that we do not have enough time to process it. That would have been the best way. But, in the absence of that substantive Bill, what do we rely on to know what to be overseeing, if we do not define the functions and then expect those functions to be prosecuted through the budget that we allocate to them? How else do we play oversight role? We need to have it. The way we were bringing it, after a lot of ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I would go by what Hon. Millie said – that we either anchor it in law, or define how we are replacing it. If we are to anchor it in law, we need to know what its functions are. We need to be guided how else to know the functions it is supposed to undertake. This is why I am saying that it is after a lot of discussion that this Committee came up with the proposal to make it clear that there are three major arms of the country that look at children welfare. It is a sector with ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: The quorum issue was not raised in the right way. view
