Mr Kodeck Makori, the head of the Refugee Affairs Secretariat told the Nation the programme will also involve taking awareness campaigns to refugees. They are mostly from Somalia and South Sudan. Traditionally, the 1951 Refugee Convention bars signatory countries from expelling people coming in to seek asylum. Yesterday, several groups of South Sudan civil society groups appealed to the Kenyan government to send more protective gear to the camps, saying what was sent their last week was not sufficient. These countries have about 5 million refugees in total.
