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 ...

Hon. Kamama has asked me to give some insight into this amendment. My advice at this particular point would be that the Committee Chair considers dropping all areas where there is a “Director” and “Commissioner” then we deal with it in Clause 2 by substituting the word “Commissioner” and “Director” throughout the Bill. That way it tidies up the whole Bill as opposed to doing it clause by clause. I think that is the way we should proceed.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the Committee’s amendment. The Committee rightfully argued that the person who can extend the stay of a refugee would be at the level of CS. I agree and support. Thank you.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to support the Committee’s amendment. One of the highlights that the Chair has not given is contained in Clause 28(3): “An asylum seeker shall report to the nearest government administrative officer who shall then direct him to the designated refugee reception officers.” Part of the challenges we have had as a country is that we have refugees walking across the breadth of Kenya without reporting to anyone else. That particular inclusion by the committee is a good amendment. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to agree with the Committee amendment. We did agree at the committee level that any combatants with arms should not be treated as refugees. The refugees and combatants are totally two different distinctions. To that extent, we agreed to delete this provision. I support.
