By COLLINS OMULOMore by this AuthorNominated Member of Parliament Isaac Mwaura has urged the registrar of persons to take immediate administrative action to recognise intersex people in the country. It is intersex, an in-between gender. "It is therefore imperative to have laws that recognize their existence and also provide a box where intersex people can tick just like others who are either male or female,” said Mwaura. The leader of the majority in the National Assembly and other members of Parliament did not understand what I was talking about. "However, this first step of recognition is almost often violated the moment an intersex child is born,” said Ms Waruhiu.
