10. *. MOTION – (Hon. Elizabeth Manyala, MCA)
THAT, aware that Section 10 of the Children’s Act, 2001 protects
children from economic exploitation and any work that is likely to be
hazardous or to interfere with the child’s education, or to be harmful to the
child’s health or physical, mental, spiritual, moral or social development; further
aware that Section 2 of the Employment Act, 2007 defines a child as any
person who has not attained the age of eighteen years; deeply concerned that
despite all these legal instruments being in place, the Nairobi City County more
so the Central Business District has experienced massive increase in the
number of children hawking goods; further concerned that some children are
being used as domestic workers (maids) in various homesteads and others are
used by adults as beggars on the streets; noting that a number of children are
skipping school or have dropped from school to join the worst form of child
labour; this Assembly urges the County Government to partner with child
rights organizations to curb this vice by strictly enforcing the existing laws on
child abuse and neglect.
