    "content": "So, if we can tap into this human resource, especially the human brain that refugees come with, we can use refugees as a human resource. It beats logic to seclude them and kind of confine them. They are running from their countries because of threats to their lives and then we imprison and confine them. I think it is high time we rethought the issue of refugees. This Bill addresses most of the issues. We should adopt them and use them to steer our economy. Most of them are very qualified. Children who are born of refugees, which crime have they committed? We have our own children and we give them registration. Our Constitution is very clear that any child born within the borders of Kenya is qualified to be a Kenyan citizen. We should give these children an opportunity to be part of us. Human resource is not easy to come by. Some refugees have taken years of education - eight years in primary school, four years in secondary school and several years in college and university. Ours is just to tap the human resource and use it to steer our economy. So, I support this Bill 100 per cent. It should be fast-tracked, so that we can implement it as soon as possible. I request the Committee of Hon. Koinange to fast-track it. We need it like yesterday. We need it implemented immediately. Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
