    "content": "(f)the Principal Secretary or their representative from the Ministry responsible for finance; (g)the principal Secretary or their representative from the Ministry responsible for education; (h) the Attorney-General or their representative; (i) the Director of the Department of Immigration or their representative; (j) the Inspector-General or their representative; and (k) the Director, who shall be the Secretary to the Committee. (2) The Committee may when necessary co-opt for a specified period of time a representative from the host communities, a representative from Kenya National Commission for Human Rights and a representative from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on an advisory role only and who shall have no right to vote. (3) The quorum for a meeting of the Committee shall be five members. (4)Each member of the Committee shall have one vote but in case of a tie in votes, the Chairperson shall have a casting vote. (5) The chairperson shall convene at least four meetings in every year. (6) Except as expressly provided in this Act, the Committee shall regulate its own procedure as it deems fit. Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, the import of this amendment is that the Refugee Affairs Committee already exists under the current Refugee Act. This particular amendment seeks to change the name of the Committee to the ―Refugee Advisory Committee‖ while retaining its membership as representatives of institutions charged with the mandate of policy- making. So, that is the justification."
