    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for that quick response. He has done his part but unfortunately, these events have become too common. Recently, we had Kenyans suffering in South-Sudan and some of them left their properties in a hurry because they were not warned. We should know that we are living in a volatile region. By now, the Government should have a policy on what to do when such situations arise. Burundi is a big trading country which we trade with and we shall feel the effects even in terms of the refugees. Currently, we are suffering because we are hosting so many refugees. It will not be a surprise if we have an influx of refugees coming from that country. What arrangements have been put in place to vet, receive and decide what to do in the event those refugees come? We also have Kenyans who have invested there and have property. What will happen with their assets in that country? We are all members of the East African Community (EAC) including Burundi and within the context of the EAC, what have we done because we have a protocol, an agreement and a treaty as to what should be done in such situations? What has the Government of Kenya done in pursuit of those protocols or treaties to ensure that there is peace and tranquility in that country?"
