"content": "Thank you, Hon. Chairlady. I am on the same Committee with Hon. Kamama. When we were scrutinising this Bill when it was brought by Aghostinho Neto, we thought that there are people who have been denied refugee status because of some security reasons. First, we only had 14 days and had to push for more days so that any aggrieved person might have an opportunity to be heard and explain themselves if they are denied that refugee status. It is important for those people to be given that time. At the same time, we were very careful that not everybody who applies for status should be given. It is not automatic. It has to go through the Eligibility Committee and then the Director decides. If you remember after the Westgate issue, it was said that those people crafted their ugly mission from Daadab Refugee Camp. That is the reason we had given. At the same time, we also give an opportunity to that person to be heard. I support the amendment."
