• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I agree with the Chair of the Committee that we delete Clause 47 (2). I support the amendment. view
• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: I thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to agree with the Committee proposal and I will support it. The reason why we are saying that no other person should be allowed into a designated refugee area is to avoid the host community and refugees from mingling in the manner that so far has happened that is causing confusion. I think this particular amendment is a good one and I support. view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment. The problem that the host community has been having with refugees if you went with social amenities like Hon.

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I oppose. At some point, I said there are only two clauses in this Bill which I will oppose and this is one of them. Hon. Kamama concedes that the refugee status is supposed to be temporary. I agree with him totally but that is not the status in Kenya. Kenya has hosted refugees for over 30 years. Refugee studies has got two scenarios, a temporary emergency refugee scenario and the second one which is in Kenya is the protracted refugee scenario. In terms of protracted refugee scenario, you must deal with the refugees in a ... view
