    "content": "Hon. Chairlady, I would like to oppose this amendment. Under the Constitution in Article 59, the right to legal representation is a right that is accorded to almost anyone. The fact that we are asking refugees to be entitled to legal representation is simply because it is part of the constitutional guarantees. If at all the laws of Kenya will be applied, we should not apply them selectively to refugees. On this one, the only thing we needed to agree on - which is what we agreed on during the Committee - is that the list of legal representatives should be one that is available to the Refugee Affairs Secretariat so that legal representation should be guaranteed. They should not just have a legal representative of their choice but from the list of legal representatives available from the Refugee Advisory Committee. I oppose this amendment."
