    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, this amendment does not hurt. However, it adds nothing. We are making this Act for refugees and asylum seekers. My problem is that if we mention that it will only be applying to refugees and asylum seekers, then we are leaving other categories of people falling under this Act who are not yet recognised as refugees and asylum seekers. Hon. Members should remember that we are making this Act to protect anybody who finds himself within our territory. We have made provisions in terms of how they should approach the authorities to identify themselves and how they should apply for asylum. So, if we specify that the Act will only apply to refugees and asylum seekers, we will exclude other groups we are giving protection under the Act. Because the Act speaks to all these issues, this is an amendment I would request Hon. Millie Odhiambo, my good niece, to withdraw."
