I agreed with the Committee on this one. The Committee had actually moved an amendment. I encourage the Committee that what Hon. Duale had said is important, that in the Committee of the whole House, it is a give-and-take situation. The Committee will tell you that on most amendments that we have agreed on, I was the one giving. They have none where they are agreeing with me. They are disagreeing on everything. Let us learn that this is a fight against the Bill. They should not look at it like that.

I am willing to use another terminology but it might have a sexual connotation. We are willing to ‘push’.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also want to thank Hon. Kajwang’ who is also my brother. I actually agree with the Committee on sub-clause 4. I now move that we have a new sub- clause 5, which provides that- “The Appeals Committee shall be independent in the exercise of its functions under this Act (c) by deleting sub-clause (5);” They should no longer fear because it is all Government and it can as well be just independent.

I am looking at my original amendments. May be the Table Office might not have captured this, but my original amendment in sub-clause 11(5) has an inclusion that the committee can be independent. I can drop that because it is all Government and it does not matter anymore. They can be independent or non-independent, it really does not matter. However, sub-clause 11(5) does not apply because I was moving an amendment to delete “the High Commissioner for Refugees” but because my earlier amendment on the High Commissioner for Refugees has been defeated, it falls off the way.
