I wanted to say something, but after that correction I am okay.

I support that. I believe that people with criminal records should never be given responsibility over any child and so I support.

I thought that a fine of Ksh500,000 was okay. It looks like Hon. Millie is making it exclusive for the rich. If somebody is allowed to go with the child, it means that he has the merit of being with her or him. You want to commercialise it, talk of whoever has more money and raise it to Ksh2 million.

Based on her explanation, I beg to oppose it.

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. Whatever the Leader of the Majority has stated may be misleading because this is how we do legislation. He is implying that we need to leave legislation to the President to allocate duties. We have not named the Ministers. You will name the Ministers, and also give them responsibilities, and the details of their responsibilities would be provided in legislation. I believe that the presence of this Section is very good. After all, if we remove the functions, there is going to be a vacuum in this Bill. I, therefore, oppose.

Hon. Chairman, the amendment is about the regional diversity of the country but when she explained it, she was talking of the Council. What is printed here is that the appointments should reflect the ethnic and regional diversity of the country within the Council.

Thank you. I moved to be closer to my Chairman. What Hon. Millie is proposing is good. It enriches what Hon. Chairman is proposing. We need to take her amendment, so that we enrich this Bill. It is positive. I support it.

It is quite vague when you talk of “minimum”. What is it based on? It appears too vague. Why do we not have an amount so that it can be understood? Will it be a minimum of Kshs1 million to one person? She says it shall be kept at a minimum. What is that minimum? I thought it is very vague. It needs clarification.

I do not seem to be very comfortable with this proposal, especially when you include this idea of children born outside wedlock. Remember when a child is born outside wedlock, there is a father somewhere who could still be taking care of that child. This amendment seems to intend to lock out that father. Otherwise, you will now be bringing in three parents. I tend to think that doing that will bring some confusion into that family.

Before that clarity from Hon. Millie, I was still trying to explain myself why I was supporting.
