• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: If, for example, I am denied refugee status for security reasons – all this is about radicalisation of people in a family – how do we again continue retaining the same family members within the country? These are some of the issues we are talking about, particularly for purposes of security. Where the Director has denied someone refugee status, let the family take up the matter at their own expense. If the refugee status of someone is cancelled, the cancellation will include his children and wife. These are some of the things we are trying to deal with. I do ... view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I agree with the amendment to have that clause deleted. Rightly, as the Chair has just put it, this refugee aspect is something that we really need. We spent the whole day trying to discuss this thing with Hon. Neto. I think at that time he had agreed. When you sit down and agree, it is a give and take. I totally agree with what the Chair has put. view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I plead with my brother. He has been very supportive. I also thank him for being very passionate about this Bill. We have gone a long way. Rightly, as Hon. Limo has said, these are just regulations on how we do some processes. He has done so much on the Bill. We could ask him, as Hon.

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. We also need your guidance as we move on. When Hon. Kamama is moving his amendments, he does so in sub-clauses. As you were saying, we did not agree. He withdrew where the words “Commissioner” and “Director” were. We need to withdraw specific clauses and sub-clauses and allow the one that is supposed to remain. What Hon. Kamama was proposing is to delete a section. That notwithstanding, I want to agree that women and children are the people who suffer when a crisis of refugees occurs. In the past - as it has been pointed out ... view
