    "content": "I congratulate the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security because it ensured that public participation according to Article 118 of the Constitution was followed. Public input was availed and I have no doubt in my mind that bold regulations were followed. In my constituency, Kapsoya Town is in the Central Business District (CBD) of Eldoret Town. We have more than 5,000 refugees from South Sudan. We have a global pandemic which is a crisis that has never been witnessed by mankind. I thank Kenyans for following the measures instituted. Seventy five per cent of the total population of Kenya is composed of young people and most of them are unemployed. So, let us accommodate the refugees. They should follow the rule of law and order. They should also be friendly, co-exist perfectly, maintain good relations and live in peace. In my constituency, as opposed to other areas, they are living in peace. They have intermarried and there is perfect co-existence. I urge other refugees in our country especially those in Kakuma to follow regulations, laws and order because they can instill their own culture in our country. The definition of this Bill is not properly done. In future, promotion of co-existence should be spelt out properly. Regarding intermarriages, if a child is born in Kenya it becomes a citizen. The legal framework is perfect and excellent. The Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security has done a great job. I support without reservations. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
