    "content": "people well yet, they cannot reciprocate? It is important to note refugees’ professionalism and tap it. I have seen the Scandinavian countries have tapped the professional capacities of refugees. So, we cannot equate Kenya with those countries since we are a developing country. This is because there is competition of available resources. I think it is important even as we make laws that govern refugees to consider human rights. We are at a time when Kenya is trying to take off economically. I think we should safeguard what we have so that the future generations can occupy those opportunities before we engage outsiders. Therefore, I cannot agree more with this Bill, which provides for a balance between locals and refugees. I am sure we have experts in this House who will bring amendments. I will also look at it, so that if there is anything I feel will disadvantage Kenyans and cause bad blood between refugees and Kenyans; I will bring it to the attention of the House and probably even initiate amendments during the final stages of the Bill."
