The Government is determined to close down all the refugee camps in the country in the next two years, the National Assembly heard yesterday.

Administration and National Security committee chairman Asman Kamama told the House that the camps will be closed once all the refugees return to their respective countries. He however, said that the speed of repatriating the refugees will be dependent on the stability of the Somali Government.

"The refugee camps will be closed as soon as the refugees return home. We are alive to the safety and care of the people in the camps and we will only facilitate their return if where they are headed is safe," Kamama said in response to a question by Saboti MP David Wafula.

Wafula had expressed concerns with the free flow of refugees that had exposed the country to security threats from terrorist groups such as Al Shabaab
