    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Prime Minister talked about compassion. Hon. Members will remember that Somalia refugees who are in this country are here courtesy of the UN Convention on Refugees which Kenya is a signatory. A Minister of the Government of the Prime Minister and President Mwai Kibaki is on record as having said that all those refugees should be relocated to Somalia so that the Kenyan Government can feed them from there. I would like the Prime Minister to confirm whether, indeed, this is the official position of his Government and allay our fears that the reason we see emaciated and dehydrated young Somalia refugee children dying is because the Government is not too keen on taking care of them as evidenced by what that Minister said. Finally, Mr. Prime Minister, is the Chairman of the Cabinet Sub-Committee on Food Security. The issue of food shortage is not only limited to the people who live in the arid and semi-arid areas. Even Kenyans are finding it difficult to access food because of the high prices. What has the Prime Minister done as the Chair of that Committee to ensure that the cost of food and foodstuffs is brought down?"
