• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the fact that refugees should live in designated areas is already prescribed in Clause 30, which we have passed. What Hon. Millie seeks to add to Clause 31 is the phrase “subject to the Act”. Otherwise, the other provisions are a repetition of what is already in the Bill. That is why I was saying the amendment is superfluous. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The Committee also has an amendment to sub-clause (1). I was thinking we could move it at once so that we are clear at once. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: We have an amendment to sub-clause 1of Clause 30. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 31 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (1) by inserting the words “upon consideration of any special needs or conditions that may affect the refugee’s protection and safety” immediately after the words “Commissioner may”. Hon. Chair, we are putting this so that when the commissioner is determining whether the refugees are moved to different designated areas, their special needs are taken care of in line with the previous provisions we made for women, children, persons with disabilities, elderly persons among others. Thank you. I beg to move. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: We agree to that amendment. It is harmless. It only firms up the humanitarian interventions for refugees. view

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: We are prohibiting any person from entering designated areas where refugees are staying. We also want to prohibit people or individuals going under the guise of bodies so that it is any “person or body”. In terms of the new 2(a), we are giving the commissioner the power to review his decision. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Order Members! I told you that the Chairperson, at the very minimum, must vote. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chair, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 34 of the Bill be amended by deleting sub-clause (1) and substituting therefor the following new sub-clause― (1) The commissioner shall, so far as is practicable, ensure that there is shared use of public institutions, facilities and spaces between the refugees and the host communities. We are seeking to ensure that the facilities which are availed to refugees can be shared by the host communities. It is something we observed before we introduced this amendment when we went to Kakuma and Dadaab. The local communities are saying that refugees are ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairperson, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 35 of the Bill be amended by deleting the word “concerns” appearing immediately after the words “that refugee” and substituting therefor the word “matters”. This is just for clarity and nothing in terms of substantial content change. view
