Raila, on Saturday, June 5, said Jubilee administration’s move was wrong as Somalia was not yet safe enough for the refugees. This came just days after Jubilee announced that all refugees at the Dadaab and Kakuma camps are expected to leave by November 2016. The closure of the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps will see more than 600,000 people sent back to Somalia. Deputy President William Ruto said the refugees had to leave as the camps had become a security threat.
