• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am happy Hon. Millie does not agree with expulsion on account of breach of public order. Hon.

If you consider the process of identifying refugee status, what if you admit a person on a temporary basis and you discover he is a terrorist? Is Hon. Millie saying that you cannot expel him?

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Uganda who were in Kakuma because they were practising gayism and other things which are not allowed by our laws. We are not saying everything immoral, but if it is immoral under our law, we can expel you. These are the people who came to the court wearing bikinis and funny things yet they are men. We can expel you on account of those breaches so long as it is under the law. view

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the proposal by Hon. Millie is agreeable to the Committee, save the location. I wanted to inform the House and Hon. Millie that we are bringing in care for elderly persons under Clause 21 because we deemed the elderly or old persons being added there - if you look at the Committee amendments – it would be neater than having it lumped under women and children where we are dealing with persons with disabilities. Therefore, I would request that for neatness, moreover, we consulted a lot with the UNHCR, the Refugee Consortium and we located the ... view

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the proposed amendments, in substance, are in order. We are talking of the need to have a legislation. If we proceed this way, we will be establishing the regulation-making authority or delegated power under each and every provision. That is why under Clause 43, we identify all those issues over which regulations can be made in addition to the general powers. I would request Hon. (Ms.) Millie Odhiambo that may be she considers bringing this very provision but under Clause 43, so that the regulation making authorities and the issues they can deal with are clear ... view
