    "content": "Think about communities like the Makonde people in Kwale and Kilifi counties, who have no other recourse. We should not use the excuse of limited resources because refugees are the most vulnerable people. It is our international obligation to take care of refugees, under the Refugees Act. Hon. Nyokabi knows that. Even the Kituo cha Sheria, which she used to lead, used to provide services and support to stateless persons. Think of an innocent refugee arrested and taken to Kasarani during police operation that was intended to enhance national security. Nobody can defend or help him to navigate through our legal systems. It harms nothing to keep those two categories of people in the Bill, together with the citizens of Kenya. These are principles that are recognised in our Constitution. So, I beg to differ and ask the House to oppose these amendments. Let us protect refugees and stateless persons."
