    "content": "Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I will do so. We have about 400,000 refugees in Dadaab Constituency who are mainly from Somalia. In the year 2014, we had the tripartite agreement between Kenya, Somalia and the United Nations (UN) on repatriation of Somali refugees to Somalia. However, this agreement has not moved because almost all the refugees are still there and I believe that the office of the ambassador can do a lot to ensure the implementation of the tripartite agreement. I say this because the current office of the ambassador to Somalia, as has been said, is at NSSF building here in Nairobi. For the ambassador to be fully functioning and operational, we want him to be based in Mogadishu where he can engage with the Government of Somalia and development partners in Somalia because the issue of refugees requires the Government of Kenya to be proactive. I say this because the refugees who are in Dadaab are basically stable because they have been there for the last 20 or more years and they have children in school. For example, we have 150,000 school going children."
