    "content": " Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2) (c), I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the role of Kenya in addressing peace and security in the Horn of Africa Region. Owing to worsening situations in the Horn of Africa, thousands of people have been forced to flee as violence erupts. More than 100,000 refugees crossed to other countries where UNHCR authorities are working around the clock to set up a new refugee site to shelter and provide food and water. In addition, for fear of their lives and the lives of their families on the new grounds, thousands of children, women and men have been forced to flee into other countries and Kenya may too experience refugee influx. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is on this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Defense and Foreign Relations on the following: (i) Could the Chairperson state the role of Kenya in addressing peace and security in the Horn of Africa? (ii) What measures is the Government putting in place to address conflicts and influx of refugees into the country as a result of deteriorating peace and security in the Horn of Africa? (iii) What measures is the Government undertaking in collaboration with other countries to ensure peaceful co-existence between the communities living in all countries in the Horn of Africa region? (iv) What is the position of the African Union (AU) and the East African Community (EAC) in the ongoing conflicts in the Horn of Africa, particularly the impending humanitarian crisis? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
