• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. In our discussion with Hon. Nyenze, we had actually agreed that she was going to drop number three on the basis that even this terminology of “severe disability” is not something you can easily define. So, we discussed and agreed that we can go by disability so that all children with disability will then benefit from the free medical services. I think Hon. Nyenze probably did not mark that one for dropping because we had agreed that she drops it. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, the Bill be amended in sub clause (1) by- (a) inserting the following new paragraph immediately after paragraph (e) – “(f) intersex genital mutilation; or” (b) deleting the last paragraph and substituting therefor the following new paragraph – “(g) any other cultural or religious rite, custom or practice that is likely to negatively affect the child’s life, health, social wellbeing, dignity, physical, emotional or psychological development’’. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, here it is about the intersex. Most of us are familiar with Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) and are probably unfamiliar with Intersex Genital Mutilation (IGM) whereby intersex children are also subjected to a very traumatising activity of trying to correct what may have been a natural occurrence by mutilating one of the genitals. Therefore, we are including it as part of children who require care. I beg to move. view

• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I think Hon. Millie has brought in a dimension that probably we had not looked at on the IGM which is not a cultural thing but probably a criminal activity. Therefore, I would not have any problem in going by her wording. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: In those days, one was seen as… view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: IGM is also criminal. I agree with you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. From the definition which has been given by Hon. Millie on the view of the intersex children or people, the use of IGM demeans the activity. I have just seen what she is about to propose. On this amendment, I am amenable. I agree with her proposed amendment. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: We are both here. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to clarify something. view
