Mine is just to ask the Cabinet Secretary about the Government plans to settle the Kenyan refugees who are already here in Kenya. There are some refugees who are living in Kenya and are Kenyans and others who are squatters. Squatters are in many places in Kenya and these people have nowhere to go. For example, there are people in Machakos County who are being called squatters in Katelembu and they are being told to move out. How are these people going to be settled and be kept in Kenya?"

This is in regard to the State Department that is under him on the Bilateral Labour Agreements (BLA) that Kenya has signed in the last two years. Is the Prime Cabinet Secretary in a position to tell this House how many Bilateral Labour Agreements Kenya has signed in the last two years, how many are in the process and why there is seemingly a delay in conclusion of some of them that have been under negotiation for quite a while? I know these agreements will open up opportunities for many young Kenyans that are looking forward to apply their trade elsewhere where those opportunities exist."

There is report by the government that differentiates the assistance given to the refugees which is called differentiated assistance. I wonder what is the difference between the assistance given to refugees and the assistance given to the host community. Secondly, is the Prime Cabinet Secretary aware that the host communities that have had difficulties in integrating with the refugees? Is he also aware that enough time has not been given to the host community to participate and be informed on how they can integrate with the refugees? The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to tell the Prime Cabinet Secretary, good morning. Prime Cabinet Secretary, these refugees ended up in Ethiopia because of the fight that was taking place between the Borana, Rendile and the Gabra. Sadly, our colleagues, hon. Abdi Sasura, hon. (Dr.) Bonaya Godana, hon. (Dr.) Guracha Galgalo and the former Assistant Minister and MP for Nakuru, hon. Mirugi Kariuki lost their lives when they were going to address this issue. These people ran out of the country. So, it is something that evokes bad feelings in the leadership of this country. I, therefore, fail to understand that over 4,000 Kenyans have requested that they go back home because the challenge you said yourself is that the refugees must be willing. They have even indicated to you the areas they want to go to and they have told you that they want to go to areas inhabited by the Borana community where they think there is peace. My question is: Is the UNHCR is ready and willing to fund the return? The refugees have indicated where they want to go. Where is the problem? Why is the Government dragging it feet? It is very suspicious because the Prime Cabinet Secretary knows that the Government made an announcement that they are opening up the all the borders to allow Somalis from Somalia to come into Mandera. So, if you are looking for people outside Kenya to come into Kenya, why not make it easy for Kenyans outside Kenya to come back home? Finally, with your permission, I know you are about to shoot me. If you have the figures, please give us the kind of support you have given as compensation to the families of these hon. Member, the six of them who died. I forgot to mention hon. Titus Ngoyoni. They were our colleagues in this House and I was with them."

"content": "Asante, Bw. Spika. Langu ni kumpa pongezi the Prime Cabinet Secretary na Serikali kwa kuwezesha kuachiliwa uhuru kwa Steve kule Saudi Arabia. Wiki iliyopita kulikuwa na habari ya kwamba Steve alikuwa amehukumiwa kifo na Serikali ya Saudi Arabia. Alipata fadhili kupitia kwa shirika la kiislamu. Wakamlipia ridhaa ya shilingi milioni 124. Ningependa kuipongeza Serikali kwa kushukghulia mambo yake na vile vile kusimama na familia yake. Hakika atakaporudi nchini Kenya, itakuwa ni fursa nzuri kupewa makaribisho kwa sababu alikuwa amedhulumiwa katika kesi yake. Vile vile, alikuwa amehukumiwa kifo kwa makosa yasiyokuwa yake. Hakuua kwa kusudia ilikuwa kwa kujitetea. Mtu alikuwa amempiga na yeye alipojitetea, huyo mtu akaumia na baadaye akafariki. Jambo la kufurahisha ni kuwa, akiwa gerezani kule Saudi Arabia---"
