  • 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: This amendment will allow people who were citizens of Kenya by birth but have lost their status by operation of the law to adopt children.

  • 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 206 of the Bill be amended— (a) by deleting sub clause (1); (b) by deleting sub clause (2) This is because we cannot stratify children. It goes against Article 53 of the Constitution. view

  • 17 May 2022 in National Assembly: THAT, Clause 207 of the Bill be amended in sub clause (3) by— (a) deleting the words “unless the contrary intention appears” in paragraph (a); (b) deleting the words “unless the contrary intention appears” in paragraph (a) I move a further amendment for purposes of consistence so that in sub clause (c) we also delete the words “unless the contrary intention appears”.
