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.

I support this Committee amendment. The initial Bill stated that the refugees ought to report to an administrative center but the timelines are not set and that will be pretty dangerous because we will be having refugees forever. To provide 48 hours and to designate specific centers for refugees is a proper inclusion. I support.

I am happy that Hon. Gikaria is now seeing some things clearer. We are not opposing the Committee’s amendments at every stage. There are some moments during the Committee sittings when there was a bit of oversight and we made a couple of mistakes in terms of deletions. So, a time like now, I would request the Chairman that, at least, he drops this amendment so that we move on together. Sometimes, when we make a few mistakes, let us concede. I oppose, so that he can, at least, drop this amendment.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I would like to support the Chair’s proposal, but request him to look at Clause 32(b). A deletion of Clause 32(a), for me, is fine and I have no problem with that. Clause 32(b) which he has not spoken to seeks to give the Cabinet Secretary (CS) an opportunity to designate several parts in Kenya where refugees can live. Right now, we have refugees coming and staying anywhere. Chair, I just want you to look at it. I do not want to oppose it, if at all you think it is proper. I think ...
