Kenya plans to reject proposals by the United Nations refugees agency on the closure of Dadaab and Kakuma camps.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) had presented the proposals for the closure of the two refugee camps in northern and northeastern Kenya on Tuesday.
However, sources said the plan is silent on a time frame, and the government will turn it down.
Interior CS Fred Matiang’i dropped a bombshell on March 23, announcing the closure of the two camps that are home to about 500,000 refugees.
