UK to pay asylum seekers £3 000

LONDON. – Migrants whose asylum claims are rejected by the United Kingdom will be given £3 000 to move to Rwanda.

The UK has already has a plan in place which pays failed asylum seekers to return to their home countries. But the new measure targets those who cannot return to their countries of origin, .

The cash in exchange for moving to Rwanda is just another scheme in Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s ambitious plan to stop irregular migration. 

It does not replace the plan to deport illegal arrivals to Rwanda, which has been blocked by courts over concerns about the east African country’s safety.

To side step the court’s concerns, the government introduced a bill which seeks to label Rwanda a safe country. The bill compels judges to regard Rwanda as a safe country and gives ministers the power to disregard parts of the Human Rights Act. – africanews
