    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I come from a county that hosts refugees. I have had a lot of experience with refugees. It has been very difficult for us as the host community because when they came 30 years ago, we did not have any structures or systems of engagement.There was no preparedness. Nobody was expecting that kind of a problem in our neighbouring country. We did not have specific laws that addressed refugees’ issues. When they came, everything became a hustle for the communities. They destroyed the environment and everything that was there, so that they could get something like firewood. As a county, our environment and wildlife were completely destroyed. There were insecurity problems all over. This is something that affected both the host community and refugees. I appreciate that we have come up with a Bill whose objective is to provide for recognition of refugees, their protection and management, in line with 1951 United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees."
