• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Application 3A. This Act shall apply to all refugees and asylum seekers within the territory of Kenya without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, personal conviction, colour, national origin, sex, disability or age. So, I wish to move that and drop “personal conviction”. Going by what the House has decided, I can drop the first two because the House had already made decisions on those ones. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. I moved that Clause 3A be read a Second Time, but with a further amendment dropping the words “personal conviction” because the House was averse to “personal conviction.” So, the grounds would be that this applies to all refugees and asylum seekers within the territory of Kenya without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, sex, disability or age. So, the one about personal conviction is the one I am withdrawing. I move and urge Hon. (Dr.) Nyikal to second. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if I have heard Hon. Kaluma well, he has no problem with this Act not being applied discriminatively. However, he has a challenge that I have limited it to only those who have reported for refugee and asylum seeker status. Can I then provide that this actually applies to all refugees and asylum seekers and all those who have received a status within the territory of Kenya without discrimination on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, sex disability or age? The reason I am saying this is that almost all our laws have a ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I am glad Hon. Oundo has made Hon. Kaluma see that virtually anything can be considered superfluous. That even the issues of confidentiality can be considered superfluous. So, when we strengthen the protection of women and children, it is not superfluous. Having said that, I support Hon. Kaluma, but learn that you do not make everything about women and children superfluous, and the Leader of the Majority Party will be with you here when Hon. Kaluma has gone. You will be asking to give quorum. I will not give you quorum. view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Do I go by all of them? view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended─ (a) by deleting the definition of “essential services” and substituting therefor the following new definition─ “essential services” include security, shelter, basic education, health, water and sanitation services; (b) in the definition of “OAU Convention” by deleting the words “done at” and substituting therefor the words “adopted in”; (c) in the definition of “protocol” by deleting the words “done at” and substituting therefor the words “adopted in”; (d) in the definition of “spouse” by inserting the words “a customary law or” immediately before the words ... view
• 25 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: are many definitions. I move that they be amended as per the Order Paper except the definition of the word “spouse”. I drop it because I was including those married under customary law. Even before coming into effect of the Marriage Act, those are people who are married under the African Christian Act and the other laws. They are not married under African law. Those who are married under customary law before the Marriage Act came into effect which now recognises officially and even asks us to get certificates. I drop it nonetheless. view

• 23 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended─ (a) in sub-clause (1) ─ (i) by deleting paragraph (a) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph ─ “(a) being outside of his or her country of nationality and owing to a well- founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, personal convictions, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, or for failure to conform to a retrogressive cultural practice; and who is in Kenya and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail ... view
