Millie first thought about becoming Mbita MP at age 13. The graduate of University of Nairobi School of Law has worked as a lawyer and women and children rights activist. The CRADLE is one of the MP’s dream come true. She founded the organization that promotes the rights of children since 1997. Millie has received the YWCA Democracy Award and the Eve woman of the year for human rights and gender. Her political tipping point came when she served as a delegate at the Bomas of Kenya, during the constitutional drafting process.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Sometimes I do not seat in the chair, but if you listened, it would actually save the House time. I had made a request to Hon. Kaluma sort of to guide because I could not remember if this is one of my amendments which was defeated. But it was defeated. There is even no reason 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.

for him to talk, I will just drop it. All I needed to do was to guide you by telling you that I have realised that it is one of the amendments that was based on the fact that my earlier amendment would have passed. So, I am not moving it any more. I drop.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I propose – THAT, Clause 23 of the Bill be amended─ (a) by deleting sub-clause (5) and substituting therefor the following new sub clause─ (5) A person who has submitted an application for refugee status shall be under obligation to abide by all the laws of Kenya including all the lawful orders given by the mandated institutions under this Act. (b) by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after sub-clause (5).

What I am trying to do with the amendment is to ensure that Kenya does not violate international law especially in regards to the principle of non-refoulement. Kenya has ratified several international treaties and our provision now is to entrench the principle of non-refoulement which will make us in violation of the various treaties that we have ratified in Kenya. I, therefore, move.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman I propose that we have a new sub-clause. We have taken away the powers given to the Cabinet Secretary. We are suggesting that a person who has submitted an application shall be under obligation to abide by all the laws of Kenya, including the lawful orders given and mandated under this Act. I do not know if I can move sub-clause 6 as well.

I want to request your indulgence because I realised that what I submitted is not necessarily what is on my computer. There is a further sub-clause 7 and I do not know if I can move them together. I do not think that they would be things the Committee would be against. We just want to obligate.

25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly:
Then in that case, let me move that sub-clause 6 alone. I beg to move- THAT, Clause 23 of the Bill be amended by inserting─ “(6) Any person who contravenes subsection (5) commits an offence.

Either way, that is okay.
