We have raised allegations of mistreatment of refugees with the Kenyan authorities on a number of occasions. We recognise Kenya’s contribution in hosting a large number of refugees and are helping through our programme of assistance to refugee camps. We and our partners regularly emphasise the importance of human rights, protection and security for refugees in Kenya.
