"content": "Hon. Gikaria has mentioned that we legislate in vain sometimes but the example he has given is unrealistic because one of the key accomplishments of this House was the Legal Aid Bill, which is now the Legal Aid Act. The right to legal representation especially for people who cannot afford to hire lawyers to represent them in their cases and make sure that they get justice. Access to justice is one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and it does not stop when it comes to refugees. In fact, the Legal Aid Act of Kenya that the 11th Parliament passed is very progressive. It grants access to legal aid amongst categories of people including refugees and stateless persons."
