    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill. I think the Bill has come at the right time after we have had many problems with refugees from other countries especially Somalia, Ethiopia and Sudan here in Kenya. This Bill clearly elaborates who a refugee is, the process of applying to be a refugee, their rights, the appeals and in case a person’s refugee status is revoked or cancelled, the process that should be followed. It also gives entitlements of refugees in Kenya. This has been a bone of contention for a long time. We have had issues with refugees. We remember the Kasarani concentration camp very well. They were being roughed up and repatriated back to Somalia. So, this is a Bill that clearly puts refugees where they belong, how they should live with us in terms of education, in terms of land, their entitlements and how they can be supported. I support the Bill and congratulate Mhe. Neto for bringing it up."
