    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, in Clause 4(a) (i), we are proposing to delete the words, “as defined in the International Crimes Act”, appearing after the words, “against humanity” and substituting therefor the words “referred to in any international instrument to which Kenya is a party”. What we are seeking to achieve is to avoid restricting this matter only to International Crimes Act, but to all human rights, treaties and conventions to which Kenya is a party under our Constitution. That is what we seek to achieve. So, we are expanding the scope in: (ii) by inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (c) ― “(ca) is determined to be a threat to national security”. Again we are restricting circumstances under which this may be denied only if it is established it is about national security and not as vague as it is right now. By deleting paragraph (b), we are seeking to provide that an asylum seeker or a refugee may be excluded from being considered for refugee status, if one is determined to be a threat to national security and provides that seeking asylum in another country is a ground for exclusion for refugee status."
