• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: (b) inserting the following new subsection immediately after subsection (1)- (2) No differential treatment shall limit any rights of the child under this Act or under the Constitution. The reason is that differential treatment should not limit the rights of a child whatsoever. Differential treatment is more like affirmative action. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 13 of the Bill be amended- (a) in subsection (1) by deleting the words “In addition to the right to basic education guaranteed under section 12,”; (b) in subsection (2) by inserting the words “the government and” immediately after the words “responsibility of”; (c) in subsection (3) by inserting the words “in estates and villages” immediately after the words “specific areas”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, if you may notice, the Bill says: “In addition to the right to basic education guaranteed under section 12…” then, it talks about ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, maybe I can explain to him that when you say “in addition to” you are making the other rights subservient to that one. Why is it “in addition to”? It is just a right on its own. Why are we making it subject to another one? So that we move forward, I can let it pass, but in future, I want you to know that when you say “in addition to the right to education”, you make other rights subject to it. What if that right to education is not there? Do you want to tell ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: It is okay. I will let it pass, but I just wanted to make him understand where I was coming from. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I am withdrawing the first one, but the other two stay. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Our children play in school. There is no parent who goes to school and takes their children to the field. We find schools that make children stay in classrooms from morning to evening. The moment you give that responsibility to the school, it is the Government. It is a responsibility of the Government within schools and the responsibility of the parents at home. That is why it is a responsibility of both the Government and the parents. If we only give it to the parent, it means that schools will make our kids study. ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is not just that. I am trying to keep up with the amendments by the Committee as well. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 16 of the Bill be amended in subsection (3) by deleting the words “five hundred” and substituting therefor the words “five million shillings”. The Bill provides for a penalty of Ksh500,000 on a person who uses the state of orphaned children. I am speaking from the experience I had of the cases we dealt with when I was at the Cradle. I can give the example of a case that involved ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I apologise. We were supposed to have harmonised our amendments. Unfortunately, during the recess we were not able to find ample time. The reason I am raising this point of order is that if the amendment by the Chairman passes, then mine dies. That is my understanding, because the amendments relate to the same matter and vice versa. Because the Chairman has priority, naturally his amendment will be considered first. I want to bring to the attention of the Chairman the fact that they are proposing a standard for children different from the standard in the ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Clause 17 of the Bill be amended – (a) in subsection (3) by inserting the word “begging” immediately after the word “including”; This is because if there is one area where children are exploited it is in begging. As soon as you walk out you will find children begging all over. Even though we are using the word ‘including’, when there is prevalence in abuse it is good to mention the specific abuse. I beg to move, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. view
