    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise in support of this Bill. I am especially happy to note that the Bill gives the Government absolute responsibility with regard to ensuring prevention and also taking care of refugees, including integrated refugees, who have been discriminated against by previous programmes. I would have, however, like to see some punishment meted out to those who pretend to be refugees and flock into camps just to take advantage of the suffering of the genuine refugees and create a burden for the State. This means the genuine refugees do not benefit as they should. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the Clause 14, I would recommend that the burden of funding this be squarely given to the budgeting process, so that it can be funded by the Government and Parliament. This is in line with the Constitution in terms of taking care of all people who are not able to take care of themselves at any one particular time. In conclusion, I want to thank the Committee for doing this good job, and Mr. Ethuro for bringing this Bill to Parliament. Let me add that the people of Kisii are very concerned about the lack of consideration of our integrated refugees. I would urge the Government to do something about it, as a matter of urgency. I support."
