The Kenyan government has initiated debate on a Bill which seeks, among other things, to give refugees citizenship status in Kenya. The bill was moved by Minister in the Office of the Vice President and Home Affairs Linah Chebii Kilimo and was seconded by Foreign Affairs Assistant Minister Moses Wetangula. Wetangula said the Refugees Bill was long overdue as the most dehumanising thing in a person's life was to be violently uprooted.
