• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: citizen under Section 8(3) of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Act, 2011, signed on 21st February, 2014. This was one day after he had appeared before the Committee. What we realized was that the form that he forwarded to us as per the Act, Section 8(3), was meant for dual citizens by Kenyans who got citizenship after the enactment of the Constitution. It reads: “Every dual citizen shall disclose his or her other citizenship in the prescribed manner within three months of becoming a dual citizen.” This was actually a form that needed to be filled by somebody who became ... view

• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: It was the feeling of the Committee that it was up to the applicant or the nominee to prove to us how he re-acquired his citizenship. The only document that he sent to us was a document that referred to people who acquired citizenship after promulgation of the Constitution. We also wrote letters to the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government to give us any information on Dr. Alawy. Unfortunately, by the time we wrote the report and up to now, we have not received any communication from the Cabinet Secretary; it was our feeling that it ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: He was unable to tell us how he re-acquired his citizenship; to us it looked like he had continued holding both citizenship and he did not re-apply as per the requirements of the new Constitution.

Speaker, we also realized that Dr. Alawy was out of touch with Kenya’s gender and equality challenges to an extent that he could not identify even one minority group in Kenya. We even gave him examples of the Njemps, El Molo and the most interesting one was the Tesos. We were surprised that he confessed to us that he did not know of any of these tribes, or where they were located in the map of Kenya. He also failed to convince the Committee that he had exposure and expertise to handle gender and equality issues in Kenya. In ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: In his application for this particular job, which was properly addressed to the Chair of the Select Panel for the Appointment of Members of the National Gender and Equality Commission, which was undated, we realized that in the body of the letter, he actually applied for Chairmanship of the National Land Commission. This is annex 19, which is part of the report which shows what he actually applied for. We asked him how come his application indicated chairmanship of the National Land Commission, yet he attended the interview for the National Gender and Equality Commission. He said that it was ... view
