    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if an audit is done of the jails between here and Garissa, you will find refugees bearing the largest number in those jails. Start from Mwingi Town, Garissa, Coastal region and Hola jails and you will find that it is refugees who are in those cells; this is inhuman. This is not allowed under the international conventions which Kenya is a member of and has signed. Those people who have been kept for that long must be honourably returned to their countries. It is a suggestion which I have put before and I think as a country we have done our bit of international obligation by hosting them this long, especially with the problems of insecurity that we have now. I suggest that Kenya takes the bold step to call on the international community to assist it. They should give a timeframe within which they should return these guys so that they do not continue to be stateless. They are human beings like us and they need dignity. They want to have access and rights to be able to access resources, education and healthcare. We must end the inhuman treatment that has been meted on them."
