    "content": "(Mr. Ethuro); Yes, the Indians in Kenya are more prosperous than some Indians in India. But that is a global phenomenon. This is my point: Unless we separate the refugees from the host communities, by ensuring that they are in their own institutions of learning, then they are going to cause serious rifts between themselves and the host communities. The host communities also require protection from the refugees. My own experience as an hon. Member from those areas is that children run to me and say: \" Mheshimiwa, how do I become a refugee?\" This is a question which should be hurting this House. We need to give solutions to such a question through this Bill. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard from my colleague, Mr. Dahir, and I have seen it in Turkana, why would a Kenyan child wish to become a refugee? It is because he sees that the refugee child in the refugee camp is being fed by the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) and the World Food Programme (WFP) on full compliment rations; which are higher than the ones the Kenyan Government gives to the victims of famine. The Kenyan children see their refugee counterparts being built good schools and being sponsored fully after they do well in primary schools. We have always wanted and demanded that the Government gives us a teachers training college, but we have never got it. But right inside Kakuma Refugee Camp, there is a teachers training college. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, even if it were you, you would wish to become a refugee under those circumstances!"
