Kenyan Ministry of Interior Principal Secretary and Chairman of the National Coordination Mechanism Major General (Retired) Dr Gordon Kihalangwa has commended the work of IOM, under the Better Migration Management Programme, especially through the assistance provided to vulnerable migrants including victims of trafficking. He remarked that reasons for migration in the region are well known especially the pull and push factors and called upon all the actors to address them holistically. He reminded participants that “you are going to meet people who have lost self-esteem, their travel documents taken away. You should not add more misery and distress to them rather try to alleviate their sufferings.”
