Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I hereby request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security concerning the status of refugee camps in the country. Kenya has seen a huge influx of refugees over the recent years as a result of instability in the neighbouring states. This open door policy of allowing free flow of refugees in the country has exposed the country to security threats from terrorist groups such as Al Shabaab, more specifically the Dadaab Camp in Wajir County, which hosts refugees mainly from Somalia. It is said to be used as a training ground and recruiting base for the terrorists. The Chairperson should inquire into and report on:- (i) the exact number of refugees in Kenya, stating their nationalities; (ii) the names and locations of all the camps in the country; and, (iii) when the camps will be closed, especially the two main ones namely, Dadaab and Kakuma."
