    "content": "One of the reasons as to why I was unhappy about the ruling on the immunity by Parliament was that in Maldives, one Member of Parliament was attacked by police inside the building. Therefore, it becomes a problem when parliaments are not protected. It is through this initiative of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) that Members of Parliament from Bolivia passed a good Bill on protection of women parliamentarians against violence. You find all these platforms at IPU. It is in IPU that I found the name of Sen. Beth Mugo for her contributions on gender parity, which is an acknowledgement on the atlas of women in the world and it has a Kenyan by the name Sen. Beth Mugo. I am glad that Sen. Naomi Shiyonga is participating in this. I urge her to collect as much information as possible so as to advance the causes of IPU. On this particular one, I will be very happy to see more resolutions about Kenyans getting support for they now realize where it is pinching the most. They are now worried about their population and whether they will be able to cater for these people. You wonder what Kenya has been doing for so long. I was a little uncomfortable with the directive by the President to close the refugee camps. There are people who have grown up in Kenya because of the Somalia war and they do not even know a place called home in Somalia. They are over 20 years old and Kenya has become their home. When we send them back to Somalia, a place they do not know and it has no peace, it is also a problem. I thought that we would use a better humanitarian method of dealing with people who have come to Kenya for a safe haven. We should give them accommodation and assimilate them in a better way instead of ostracizing them and telling them that they are the ones who are causing radicalization. One of the reasons as to why Australia is a nice place to be is because they have a better immigration policy. I found Kenyans in Australia who have become naturalized Australians after four years and have a right to vote and have jobs. That is why the deportation of Miguna Miguna was something that we cannot celebrate in this country. We must continue talking about it because countries are welcoming foreigners yet we are chasing Kenyans and deporting them to the point where they say that “they are not boarding”. These stories can only be told when you read the stories of immigrants, people who have been moved out of their countries because of war and a situation of not having peace. We must continue talking about it. I hope that the Kenya Platform of the IPU is going to use this platform to speak about Somalis’ and Sudanese’ situation because those people are still in the country. We want the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to lay more emphasis on what we have as we celebrate those people and those countries, including Hungary which did not close its borders because they thought that those people would not ordinarily leave their countries to migrate to foreign lands. I beg to support."
