    "content": "The Member for Dadaab Constituency, Hon. (Dr.) Mohamed Duale sought a Statement on Eminent Closure of Refugee Camps in Kenya. The Hon. Member particularly sought to be informed on the following: (i) The measures the Government is taking to resolve double registration in refugee camps considering that closure of Dadaab Refugee Camp cannot be achieved until this matter is dwelt with. (ii) Whether the Government can consider giving citizenship to persons and children born as a result of intermarriages between Kenyan citizens and refugees as provided for in the Constitution of Kenya. (iii) The measures the Government is undertaking to ensure a Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) and that the compact agreement signed by the Government is adhered to and followed to the letter considering that the closure of refugee camps may be against the commitment of CRRF agreement and international obligations as Kenya is a member state of international community. Currently, Kenya hosts a total of 515,464 refugees from Somalia, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Burundi, Sudan, Uganda, Eritrea and Rwanda. Double registration refers to a state in which persons are registered or found to have attempted to register both as Kenyan and a refugee for purposes of acquiring national and refugee identity cards. The estimated number of persons in multi-registration is 40,000 according to United Nations Higher Commisioner for Refugees (UNHCR) records out of whom 18,794 have applied for regularisation of their registration status."
