    "content": "I support and second this Bill by Sen. Mwaura. This is the first step. As he said, there will be consequential legislation. This is not only in terms of Statutes, but even regulations to some of the Statutes. This will make it consistent with what is being achieved by this Bill. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill seeks to amend the Registration of Persons Act. If you look at the Title, it speaks to that. In terms of Clause 1 and 2, this captures who an intersex person is. The definitions that are there are plain enough and not complicated, for anybody wishing to be identified or if a process is undertaken, to make such identification. That definition comes out very clearly. At an appropriate time, I would like to encourage Sen. Mwaura to maybe cross- reference with another section. The proposed Clause 9 (B)(1) states- “An intersex person who undertakes a medical procedure that leaves them with physical features that are either fully male or fully female, shall within six months of the completion of the medical procedure, attend before a registration officer for the purpose of changing the particulars of their sex in the register.” The proposed Clause 9B(2) further states that- “A person who changes their particulars under sub-section (1) shall simultaneously surrender their identity card to the registration officers.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
