    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Refugees Bill (National Assembly Bill No.62 of 2019) be now read a Second Time. The principal object of this Bill is simply to provide mechanisms for recognition, protection and management of refugees, which will then give effect to the 1951 United Nations Convention that relates to the status of refugees, together with the 1967 Protocol that relates to the status of refugees, and the 1969 Organisation of African Unity (OAU) Convention – as it was known then – governing the specific aspects of refugees’ problems in Africa. Every Kenyan who lives in Kenya knows that we are one of the biggest hosts of refugees from within the region. So, this Bill comes in at a critical time when we really have to look at how we can recognise, protect and manage refugees, so that even as they come within our borders from the neighbourhood, there is a proper legal framework that puts into effect all these other protocols The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
