The President has finally assented to the Children Bill 2021 which will effectively replace the Children Act 2001.
The new law is an improvement in several regards:
The Children Bill 2021 has gone through First Reading this afternoon in the Kenya National Assembly ~ @NAssemblyKE
.@JoiningForcesKE applauds this milestone and calls for its enactment for the benefit of all children in Kenya. #EnactChildrenBill
@JoiningForcesKE Kenya is a signatory to several international and regional instruments protecting child rights, enacting the Children Bill is a demonstration of fulfilling the commitments.
@JoiningForcesKE As the Children Bill 2021 is tabled in the National Assembly, children will be counting on the parliamentarians to demonstrate Kenya's commitment to the implementation of the rights and welfare of the child.
If anybody calls you and tells you I gave them your contact for some consulting work, treat that as the first step in social engineering. Check with me first before you go any further. Ogopa Kanairo, thank me later.
Tomorrow is #InternationalChildrensDay! Alongside our partners & child campaigners, you can join us for #100DaysofAction. Over 100 days, you can raise your voice & demand leaders to #SaveourEducation by getting all children safely back to school and learning. Watch this space!
