  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I just want to seek your direction. I know that we have been going through the amendments on this Bill in a very special way. I think there is a challenge from the Cabinet side in terms of drafting. However, I am wondering because the Chairman of the Committee says that he is bringing a new clause and I had an amendment to this. I am concerned because then I do not have an opportunity to bring an amendment to his. view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: I have a suggestion, Hon. Chairman. Since he is yet to bring his amendment and my amendment was just trying to ensure that there is equity and equality in distribution of resources within the county and sometimes what governors do is to look at the areas which voted them and ignore other areas, they could look at that when they are bringing the amendment, then I will not have to bring a further amendment. view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairman, I have no problem because I think the Chairman is trying to re-organise and re-order. I just want to go on record that Hon. Nyenze had requested me to move her amendment and I had already notified the Hon. Speaker. Just so that it goes on record. Thank you.

  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Okay, Thank you. view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 64 of the Bill be amended in subsection (1) by inserting the following words “in every county” immediately after the words “child rescue centres”. I am seeking to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary in consultation with the Counsellor, and by Notice in the Gazette, establish child rescue centres in every county. Our counties have sufficient money to establish these centres. There is therefore, no reason for example to say that a child to being rescued in Homa Bay be taken to Migori, Kisumu or Kisii when we have county rescue ... view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 65 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new subsection immediately after subsection (2)- (3) “The child protection units established under subsection (1) shall be desegregated by gender with clear sections for boys, girls and intersex children.” The amendment seeks to ensure that the child protection units that are established are disaggregated by gender with clear sections for boys, girls and intersex children. So long as we provide for this in law, different agencies can ensure that this happens. Right now, they are exploring the possibility of setting ... view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. Whereas I have no problem with proposed amendment to Clause 66, I just wish to draw the attention of the Chair that by this provision, we are not stopping people from institutionalising children. I know it is a Government policy not to institutionalise children as a means of last resort, provided these stringent standards are laudable and good. I do not have a problem with the penalties on these ones because on the other one, we were penalising people for running programmes. This one is for running a home which is totally, a different thing. You ... view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: The only challenge that I am facing is that he is proposing a deletion and a new clause. The way we are moving is bringing complex ways. I do not know whether I would request the Chair of the Committee to adopt one of my proposed amendments so that he can bring it as a further, amendment. The further amendment will be at (b). It states: “Specify whether the institution is intended for the accommodation of male, female or intersex children, or for all.” That is just for clarity in terms of the children who will be in the centre view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: The gist of my amendment is to show or clarify whether these homes are accepting male, female, intersex children or all genders. It needs to clarify when you set up such institutions. That is all. The rest will definitely fall off. Thank you. view
  • 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I do not have a problem with the deletion because mine was basically seeking to enhance the said Clause. The deletion might serve my purposes, and even better. I support. view
