    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to move that the Refugees Bill be now read a Second Time. As I move that this Bill be read a Second Time, I would like to thank the staff, Irene Namunyak and Kwame Oyugi who did the research work for the past two years supporting this work. I would also like to thank the Chair and the Members of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security even though they are not in the House today to respond to petition issues. They have been very useful in terms of contributions and challenging the various aspects of this Bill. I would also like to thank a variety of partners. I have in mind the Refugee Consortium of Kenya (RCK), especially Madam Lucy Kiama, who took us through refugee issues by taking us to a couple of field trips in Daadab as well as exposing us to refugee issues. Partners such as the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) were useful in particular with regard to helping us understand refugee issues. I would also like to thank and pay special tribute to my colleagues in the Parliamentary Caucus on Human Rights. The ladies and gentlemen worked many months for hours on end to ensure that this draft Bill sees light of the day.
