• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT Clause 51 be further amended by deleting sub-clause 3. It is for the same as the previous amendment that co-option is poor practice. So, we should not be co-opting members if we need expertise, we should hire consultants. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 52 be further amended by deleting sub clause 9 and 10. I had actually wished to propose further amendments, because I find it a bit odd that you would have a Council approving for people their programmes. For instance, if we decide we want to be giving child-feeding programmes they tell us no, go and get a programme for child labour instead. Hon. Chairman, this is very reminiscent of the days of the KANU era; the Baba na Mama days when it was the Government that told you what programmes you should ... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: somebody because they have done a programme, when they have been told not to. There are also other provisions in the Bill, including deregistration if somebody violates. So, why are we still saying that we imprison a person for a term not exceeding 12 months or to a fine not exceeding Ksh200,000 or to both or if after conviction in sub section 9 the person continues, then they will be charged Ksh10,000 for each day during which the offending implementation persists? I do not know what the drafters of this Bill intended to cure, but most times people actually do ... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I actually understand the Member. I have worked in the children’s sector for very many years and I can give you many horrendous cases of people who come from outside the country. An example is one who started a school called Spring Chicken where young girls were being sexually abused. How do you deal with those cases? Through the criminal justice process, you prosecute and jail them. That is why I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: even brought the law on trafficking. There are even people who traffic children. So, there is a whole legal framework for such things. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Beyond that, this Bill has provisions for deregistration. My only concern is that while we are thinking of people coming from outside the country, we will harm small organisations in the countryside that help orphaned children, which may not have the money or resources to go through this process. We are not thinking about the real people who are actually helping our children. If we do this, we will harm the real people who are helping. So, let us deregister such organisations. That is already in the Bill. We can also use other laws to prosecute and jail such people, ... view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Chairman. I propose: THAT, Clause 61 of the Bill be deleted. The reason is that, if you look at the way it is worded, it provides a penalty for obstruction of the director. I am wondering whether this really applies because we have already deleted the position of a director. I do not know whether the Chairman of the Committee understands this. We have already deleted the position of the director. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, there is no director, but we are now saying there is a penalty for obstructing a director who does not exist. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Chairman. view
