"content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should avoid dealing with things on an ad hoc basis. It should be something that can be predicted and planned even when it comes to repatriation that a colleague was talking about. Recently, when the President announced that these refugees must be repatriated, some statements were made by the innocent children born there and are in school in Dadaab. It was something sympathetic when they said that they were going to be taken to a place they did not know, that they did not know how their lives will be and whether they are going to continue with their education or not. The fact that we are part of the larger international community, we should also care. Of course, we have an advantage and disadvantage as far as our location is concerned globally and continentally. We are strategically situated and so it is easy for those from other countries to get into our country. That, of course becomes a problem. Because of the conducive nature of the country, it is easier for them to come, but we must have a way of controlling them once they have come in. It is going to be unfortunate for those who want to seek refugee status or help in Kenya to be just thrown away to be killed or something like that."
