patriotic and peace-loving. He is a role model for us because he is standing out as a symbol of unity. Losing an election through a court, and an election we know he won, is not an easy thing. He won with a margin of 1.4 million votes! This was a strong win. Most of us know how painful it is when you lose an election through means you did not expect. When I saw the Supreme Court announcing nullification of the election, I felt like I was dreaming. If I was feeling like that, what about the person who won ...

This was a very challenging period for you because of the number of Members but you have steered the Chamber well enough. I am proud of you because I remember I campaigned for you.

Lastly, my word of advice to my colleagues is that there is a lot of good life after elections. Therefore, peace must be maintained. There are many Kenyans doing a lot of good work although they are not politicians. We also need to uphold peace in this country before and after the general election so that we can have a prosperous country. We should love this country for the good of Kenyans, our children and our parents.

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I support this amendment. I think it will need to be a bit expounded the way my colleagues have said. This is because in the Parliament that we are concluding now, especially in the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, we had several Members who were removed from the Committee without being given the opportunity to be heard, against our Constitution. The Constitution says that when you are accused, natural justice requires that you must be heard. So, I think we need to expound and make sure that the issue of hearing is upheld ...

Hon. Deputy Chairman, this is a very important amendment because at the beginning of this financial year, the Equalisation Fund has come to operation especially in the marginalised counties. So, this Committee will serve a good purpose because there is a lot of money being disbursed to the counties. In the recent past, we have realised that Ministries are supervising or rather allocating the money. It is necessary for those Funds to be supervised, audited and scrutinised by this House. This particular amendment has come at the right time. I support the amendment.

Hon. Chairlady, I concur and support the amendments. The reason is that in the parent Act or previous policy, the Government of Kenya did not have a role in determining a refugee. From the time the refugees started flocking into Kenya in 1991, the United Nations Higher Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) was handling this and determined who became a refugee. The Government did not play any role. This amendment goes a long way in giving the Government and the ministry in charge a role in determining who becomes a refugee. That is the right way to go in every country ...
