    "content": "scapegoats for their host country’s own problems, and subjected, therefore, to hate and xenophobia. Parliamentarians identified ways they could contribute to curbing hate speech, including through laws and by example. Parliamentarians were also concerned about the plight of the more vulnerable migrants, women and children, particularly those children born of irregular migrants. They recognized their responsibility as legislators to prevent suffering of all human beings. Finally, Members of Parliament (MPs) acknowledged the importance of their role in passing laws, including budgets and in ensuring the implementation of a global motion on immigration and safe, orderly and regular immigration. In addition, they play an important part in increasing coordination among and within stages, stress and in reducing xenophobia. Madam Temporary Speaker, the delegation from the Parliament of Kenya comprised of the following: (1) Hon. Jude Njomo, MP – Leader of Delegation (2) Sen. Naomi Shiyonga, MP (3) Hon. (Dr.) John Mutunga, MP (4) Hon. Eve Obara, MP (5) Mrs. Serah Kioko – Director Legislative and Procedural Services, Senate (6) Mr. Charles Munyua – Delegation Secretary (Senate); and, (7) Mr. Moses Lemula – Delegation Secretary (National Assembly) The Kenyan delegation participated actively in the deliberations and robustly presented our country position during the various sessions, which fed into the final report of the Hearings of the Global Compact for Migration. Madam Temporary Speaker, the delegation is grateful to the Speakers of the two Houses for allowing them to attend the sessions, for facilitating travel and accommodation as well as providing logistical and technical support in liaison with the offices of the clerks from the two Houses. Madam Temporary Speaker, I shall now proceed to give a few highlights from the various Sessions held during this Meeting. This particular Meeting that I was privileged to attend, is one of the sessions that touched on the lives of our immigrants. It is important that these particular hearings touched on the budget, which was a key function that the delegates discussed in this particular conference. When it comes to sharing of budgets and immigrants, it is import that the host country has laws that will assist it in enacting and reinforcing it so as to take care of these immigrants. If you look at the whole essence of immigrants, it is important to note that they are human beings. They need to be taken care of, especially the vulnerable children who are born from this state. Children and women suffer a lot under such circumstances. It is important that they took into consideration laws and the special needs of these particular generation or category of people. Madam Temporary Speaker, globally, nobody chooses to be an immigrant, but it comes by nature. It is, therefore, important for states or countries to have a budget that will actually look after these people because of their human and sovereign needs in specific countries that are affected. Good examples are the ones we have in Kenya, The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
