    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the Committee opposes the proposed new sub-clause 1A for the reason that whilst on the face of it, it appears to accord refugees better treatment, it can be dangerously interpreted in terms of implementation. It says “they will be treated not less favourable than other foreign nationals in Kenya”. We know that foreign nationals who are working here are required to have work permits, but in later provisions, we are seeking not to require refugees to work. It might be contradictory and interpreted in a manner that prejudices the interests of the refugees that we seek to protect. I want to request Hon. Millie to drop this amendment for the introductions that we will bring. If you interpret this, you will require refugees to have work permits while in later provisions we are saying that they can engage in gainful employment with their IDs as prescribed in other clauses that we have discussed. We oppose because it denies the rights it purports to give."
