    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, I would like to apologise immensely to Hon. Shinali, the Member for Ikolomani and a Member of the Caucus. I am not able to donate any time. Hon. Leshoomo, I apologise. I wish I could donate some time to you but I look forward to you participating in the Third Reading of this particular Bill. I thank my colleagues for supporting this Bill. I am happy with the comments that I have received and some of them are going to be used to improve the Bill. I assure my colleagues that this is a progressive Bill that caters for Kenya’s internal security as well as host community interests. It also responds to international obligations with regard to refugee issues. The second thing I would like to say is that Kenya is a classic example of refugee protection and I really think the international community should learn from this country on what refugee protection is about. I really think that one of the things that Kenya ought to do is to add refugee as a pillar of its foreign policy because we really stood up strong and we are moving the best way forward. I think some of my colleagues want to appreciate that refugees are not only those from Somalia. There are other nationals. There are Burundians and South Sudanese who are refugees. Whereas there could be issues with Somalia refugees, we need to look at the refugee community in a holistic manner. The other thing is that I would like to have an inclusion of the returnees in this Bill so that their issues are taken into consideration. I look forward to the improvement of this Bill in the Third Reading but I would like to thank my colleagues immensely. I look forward to a vote this afternoon so that we proceed with this Bill in the Third Reading. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you. I also thank all my colleagues. I look forward to the Third Reading of this Bill."
