• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, as I support, I wish Hon. Aghostinho Neto would sit next to the Chair. The aspect of minority and majority sitting in opposite directions is not very good. We do not have a problem with the Bill. We had very good sessions in Naivasha and later in Mombasa. I do not know if Hon. Aghostinho sat on the side of the majority there would be a problem. I am saying this because as we move on, he needs to assist the Chair with the amendments. We carefully looked at the amendments and there will be “give ... view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. True to the fact, this is over-legislating because we want to put little things in a law. There are other laws in the country that address such issues. Again, we are bringing them into this law. How does one own land? The process is provided for in law. Why would we want to introduce such a provision into the Refugees Bill when it is clear how one acquires land in Kenya? As Hon. Kamama has said, we have a committee that almost exhausts each and every item that comes formally. The Departmental Committee on ... view

Clause 35(3) says a refugee who resides outside the designated refugee camp as a tenant may legally acquire or dispose of his or occupancy or leasehold interest in land. These are the things we have seen. These are issues which have already been captured in other laws. Why do you want to ... view
