• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment. It is very specific. The Director shall ensure that there shall be a shared use of common social amenities. These are social amenities and not allowing people to go beyond the social as you had mentioned, because of the radicalisation. As a Committee, we proposed that in prisons terrorists are put separately from common prisoners because of radicalisation. It is very important and we need to follow this up. It is only for the common social amenities and not other areas. view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we are considering Clause 55. First and foremost, as the Chair has just said, it is not the intention of this country to keep refugees here forever. In fact, as a Committee, we have already engaged the Cabinet Secretary (CS). You remember we had a very heated debate sometimes late last year when we wanted to close the Camp as a country. The Cabinet Secretary gave a directive that there is already a programme on The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: how we will repatriate the refugees. In fact, the CS gave timelines and said that they were just waiting for funding and the refugees had accepted to move back to their original homes. If we start creating a fund, it then means that we are legitimising their permanency in this country. I do not think that is the intention of Kenyans. It is unfortunate that those countries have issues and we would want those issues to end. Kenya is doing so much to try and end those issues so that people can go back and at the same time concentrate. ... view

• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Much as we were defeated when the Question was put, I am happy to support Clause 56. Some NGOs do not use their monies for the purposes they were intended. They use the money to fight the Government or go against it all the time. The Cabinet Secretary is the one who will appoint the accounting officer of the Refugees Trust Fund, and it is a good indication. In Clause 56(3)(c), the accounting officer shall impose conditions on any expenditure. This means all the expenditure will be for the purpose for which they are ... view
