• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I support this amendment. In terms of wording, it is better than what the Committee has proposed, but speaking to the same thing. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we support this amendment as a Committee. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we support this amendment, as a Committee, to the extent that the purpose for which the identification is being rated to the one issued to Foreign National Registration Certificate is spelt out at the last paragraph. That is for the purpose of accessing rights and fulfilling the obligations under the law. I doubt that Hon. Millie should mention a specific section of the Act. I do not know whether she will do a further amendment by deleting this specific provision for the reason that that Act may be amended and this provision may be relocated to ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: a deletion by Hon. Millie as the Mover so that it remains: “Under the Kenya” and not “Under Section”. We support the amendment. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 29 of the Bill be amended─ (a) in sub-clause (1) by deleting paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph─ “(a) the person may be subject to persecution on account of race, personal convictions, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, or for failure to conform to a retrogressive--- No! This is Hon. Millie’s amendment, Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Millie is very persuasive. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Millie is very persuasive. When she refers me as her uncle, I seem to forget where I should be fighting from. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 29 of the Bill be amended— (a) in sub-clause (2) by deleting the words “or public order” appearing immediately after the words “national security”; and (b) by deleting sub-clause (3). In sub-clause (2), we are deleting the phrase “public order” because it is subjective and too wide. It can overexpose refugees. The amendment proposed under (b), the deletion of sub-clause (3), is being effected because we have taken ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we oppose this amendment for the reason that the principle being reiterated under Clause 29 is a very important principle governing humanitarian interventions, more so around refugees. It is what we call non-refoulement - that you cannot return a person to a hostile territory or expel them from where they are safe. The amendment being proposed by Hon. Millie seeks to add personal convictions and failure to conform to retrogressive cultural practices as reasons as to why a person can enjoy refugee status and avoid being expelled. My concern is that ‘personal convictions’ and ‘cultural practices’ ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we oppose this amendment for the reason that it is not clearly explained what the amendment adds or improves to what already exists. The provision of Clause 31(1) is already very clear that the commissioner may require any refugee who is within a designated area to move to or reside in any other designated area. I think Hon. Millie Odhiambo is just repeating the same thing by twisting the words without adding any change, unless differently advised. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
