• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: We agree with that, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, but that will mean that we need to include the “medical geneticist” in the definition. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, as Hon. Millie has said, this amendment is similar to what she is proposing. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 24 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (3) by deleting the words “children with a disorder of sex development” and substituting therefor the words “intersex children”. We are simply replacing the words, “children with disorder of sex development” with “intersex children” so that we can maintain the same terminology we have been using all through. I beg to move. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 25 of the Bill be amended by inserting the following new sub clause immediately after sub clause (2) — “(3) The personal data concerning a child shall be processed only in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act.” This amendment seeks to protect data concerning children. Personal data shall not be processed unless consent is given by a parent or guardian. All rights and obligations relating to data protection pursuant to the Data Protection Act, 2019, shall apply. This is just to protect the data we collect from ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 26 of the Bill be amended— (a) in the marginal note by deleting the word “picket”; (b) in sub clause (1) by inserting the words “and unarmed, to” immediately after the word “peaceably”; (c) in sub clause (2) by deleting the word “and reputation”; (d) in sub clause (3) by deleting the words “his or her” and substituting therefor the word “their”; (e) by deleting sub clause (4) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause— “(4) The right guaranteed under subsection (3) shall be exercised— The electronic version of ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: (a) in accordance with the national values and principles of governance prescribed in Article 10 (2) of the Constitution; (b) voluntarily by a child and without any undue influence, coercion, inducement or enticement by any person. (f) by deleting the proposed sub clause (5). This amendment is meant to clarify some issues related to this clause, including the “his” and “her”, and replacing it with an intersex, and also affirming that the Constitution requires the right to demonstrate to be exercised while unarmed and subject to rights of others. It is also to protect children from undue influence or coercion ... view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: I beg to move: THAT, Clause 28 of the Bill be amended in the marginal note by deleting the word “rights” and substituting therefor the word “duties”. We are doing an amendment to the marginal notes. Instead of rights and responsibilities of a child, we are replacing the rights with duties. This is to clarify the provision to be in line with the content of the section. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, Hon. Millie gave the example of good use of differential treatment, but there are many ways in which you can use differential treatment to abuse a child. This is why we included the provision. Overall, proposals in the Bill prohibit any differential treatment. The example of having a child sit in front of the class is good, but there are many discriminatory practices that could be attached to differential treatment. Therefore, I would plead with my colleague to withdraw this amendment. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: We are still consulting, but given what Hon. Millie has described, of differential treatment being preferential treatment, I would propose that we take up her amendment. But this is not something we will finish today. We will continue looking at it. If we find that we need to bring a further amendment, we will. For now we can go by her proposal. view
• 11 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. Clause 30 as contained in the Bill has 11 sub-clauses. I am not sure which of the 11 sub-clauses Hon. Millie is challenging so that we can be specific. The three sub-clauses that she is introducing are unlikely to replace the intended purposes or objectives of this particular clause. So, can she be specific and tell us out of the 11sub-clauses what she is challenging and on what basis? view
