    "content": "The pot is dry of funding for Kenya. We have to be innovative and realistic as Kenyan legislators to make sure we deal with our security problems; integrate our refugees; monitor them better and not rely on foreign aid that is not coming, even from within the United Nations (UN) system. The pot of money for refugee care is dwindling. We are a generous nation. Let us be creative and resourceful when these resources dry up. We relied on the UNHCR and the UN for too long. The resources are just not coming. They are going elsewhere closer to the borders of Europe. Conflicts in Africa are being forgotten. We are hosting nearly 1 million refugees in Kenya. Let us be resourceful and creative in how we handle it and make sure we integrate and find durable solutions that are to the advantage of Kenyans. Let us see how refugees can contribute to our economy. We can monitor them rather than think of ways in which refugees are seen purely as problems. Let us see them as an asset and tap into that asset of talent and potential and live in harmony with them until a time when they can go back to their own countries."
