• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Yes, I have. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, we have a problem in this one. We have already passed in my amendment that guardianship terminates at age 18 unless it is determined otherwise by the court. Therefore, the statement that Hon. Millie wishes to delete qualifies the fact that the application for extension must be commenced before a child attains age 18. Thereafter, it is out of the scope of the guardianship, as I have just said. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Therefore, we oppose the amendment. view
• 12 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this is an area we do not have much problem but we are just wondering who the interested person is. All along we have defined people who are related here but who is this interested person? The Mover can tell us. Other than the guardian, who is this other interested person? view

• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: The justification is that protection of children goes along with rights of children to survive and development. Protection is one of the key pillars of children’s rights as enshrined in the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), and the African Charter, and Kenya is a party to both. So, I propose that we make this amendment. view
