• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I would like to oppose the deletion. I thank Hon. Kamama for being honest and forthright. The only reason why he is opposing this particular clause is because he thinks they ought to be included in the regulations, which is proper. So, he does not disagree with the text. He only disagrees with where they find themselves. I think that this particular clause is the one that is cardinal and important to refugee status determination. This is because it singles out and distils the process of refugee status determination. Having interacted with refugees for some time, ... view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: that four years lapsed between the time the Act was passed and the time the regulations were done. If at all it is not harmful in text and content, I think that it does not do any harm, if at all we had it in the substantive body of the Bill. That is why I am opposing the amendment. It is not because it is harmful in any way, but I just think that if we do not have it in this particular Act right now, we will be infringing on the refugees rights in the inter-phase. I oppose. view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I think there is nothing out of order by what Hon. Kamama did in Clause 20, because the words “Commissioner” and “Director” run across the whole Bill. What happened in Clause 20 is a matter of tidying it. The words “Director” and “Commissioner” will appear across the Bill because it was one word that was used concomitantly. In Clause 2, we will say that wherever the word “Commissioner” appears the word “Director” then takes over in part of the definition. There is no harm. Nothing is wrong with what he did in Clause 20. If it ... view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I would like to support the Committee’s amendment. What the Committee did here it to tidy up the Bill and make it look orderly. I would like to assure my very good friend Hon. Kamama, Chair of the Committee, that I am here in good faith and we agreed at some point in our caucuses. There are some amendments that might not have been refined and we agreed that we will refine them in the plenary. So, I did not want to do anything out of bad faith. I really like the fact that ... view
