President Uhuru Kenyatta has rejected a Bill that would have compelled the State to provide housing and social amenities to refugees at special transit centres, saying it did not consider critical infrastructures such as police stations and prisons.

The Refugee Bill, 2019l sought to compel the Interior ministry and counties to provide transit centres— temporary housing centres— for refugees and asylum seekers but did not include detention centres.
