    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to add my voice to this very crucial Bill. To start with, Kenya has been extremely hospitable to the refugees from several countries like Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, et cetera . Whereas we have had various challenges, I can assure you that we have also been beneficiaries of the refugees. Therefore, this is a timely Bill as it brings recognition, protection and management of refugees. It is fashioned in such a manner that at the end of the day, refugees are not a problem, so to speak. I am sure, as past speakers have said, most of the time refugees cause problems to our country like being a threat to security and even the economy. However, as much as they have problems, at the same time, when they come, they come with blessings. This is because we have the issue of creation of jobs in the refugee camps which enhances our economy and this is attributed to donors and investors who have interest in taking care of the refugees. Finally, with the coming into effect of this Bill, Kenya will attain high level of recognition in the domain of countries in the world that have hosted refugees. Thank you."
