    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Thursday, last week I made a request for a Statement in regard to a group of Kenyans who are picketing outside the Senate gate. There is a banner there indicating that they are refugees and returnees from Uganda. Since the Chairperson of National Security and Foreign Relations promised to bring a Statement later this week, the Speaker has directed that some remedial action be taken by the Government to remove those Kenyans from staying at the gate of the Senate day and night. These are women and children who have not facilities. They do not have toilets and facilities for cooking. The number appears to be increasing and it is not good, first, for the image of Parliament, second, for the image of the country. Thirdly, they are Kenyans that deserve to be given some remedial measure, to be taken away from that gate as their case is being addressed. Sen. Haji, the Chairperson of the Committee promised that something would be done immediately. Could the Vice Chairperson, who is present, tell us why those Kenyans are still picketing at the Senate gate from last week?"
