Fatuma credits her success to her grandmother who took her to school after her parents separated. She chose to study Agriculture as she believes that only agriculture could alleviate poverty in food insecure Wajir County. Her work at UN Women exposed her to the challenges women face daily, physically and mentally. In 2003 she was appointed a commissioner to the Kenya National Commission for Human Rights (KNCHR) and spearheaded the release of a report faulting the government’s IDP’s resettlement exercise (Operation Rudi Nyumbani). Fatuma is passionate about girl child education and seeks to ensure none of the girls in Wajir lacks education due to financial constraints.

Wajir CWR, PDR): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to support the amendment. As you know, the mall is ready for use but it cannot be used right now. The pending bills will attract an interest of 14 per cent which is approximately Kshs100 million per year. So, it is a burden to the economy. It is good we pay this money to avoid having an idle asset.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am really impressed by the quick withdrawal by my Chairman. I think it was a not-well-thought-out deletion. Hon. Temporary Chairman, this is an affirmative measure that is put in law so that in case of a special need, the authorities dealing with the refugee affairs should always be alert. I acknowledge the Chairman of the Committee for his quick withdrawal. I support.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, for allowing me to contribute to this amendment. I am a member of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. It is, always, not nice to oppose one’s Chair, but this amendment is not very useful. This clause should be left the way it is. I support the establishment of a Refugee Trust Fund.

I want to inform you that I have worked in a refugee camp for over five years. I understand that there are serious gaps in the law that has domesticated some of the international practices. That is why you find this Bill here. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we need the proposed trust fund. The objective of the fund is to protect certain things that refugees own or certain things that are likely not to be protected. It can be a temporary fund, which can be done away with if the situation stabilises and Kenya is not hosting any refugee. It ...
