    "content": "THAT, the Bill be amended by deleting Clause 8 and substituting therefor the following new clause- Functions of the 8. The functions of the Committee shall be to— Committee. (a) formulate national policies on matters relating to refugees in accordance with international standards; (b) advise the Cabinet Secretary on matters relating to refugees; (c) make a recommendation for declaration of prima facie status in respect of large scale influxes of refugees; and (d) propose and ensure the provision of durable solutions for refugees. In the interest of time, and for those who want to oppose for the sake of it, I will justify it so that people can understand the gist of this amendment. It seeks to strengthen the current policy-making organ which is the Refugee Affairs Committee by clearly spelling out its functions. The functions proposed in the amendment are broader and better articulated than in the Refugees Act of 2006 and that is the essence of this repeal. Thank you, Hon. Chairlady."
