    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. As we were doing our reggae, Sen. Murkomen was tanga tangaring, so it is even. Let him not attack us for supporting whoever we support as a party. The other issue is, if you want to discuss a Senator, please provide a substantive Motion. That is what the Standing Orders require. Pastoralists are normally disadvantaged twice when it comes to ID cards. First of all, when there is a census, most of the counting happens in centers. Nobody goes to wherever the pastoralists are moving to. Nobody follows them there. At any given time, I am sure that any county with pastoralists, including yours, is normally understated. They are disadvantaged twice. Not only are they denied IDs, even the ones who are in the settlement--- My county and many other counties in Northern Kenya are the only places where there is thorough vetting compared to other places. Even when they go through the vetting and have been identified as Kenyans at the local level, one year down the line their IDs still lies in the headquarters here. There are around eight people who have reached out to me saying their IDs have been processed at the local level and they have been stuck at the headquarters for one year now. Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a legitimate concern raised by Sen. Dullo. Sen. Dullo brings a lot of Statements to this House that concern her county. I thank her for doing that kind of work. The Isiolo people are over represented in this House. You would think that they have five Senators in Sen. Dullo. Secondly, there is somebody who was born in Kenya, the parents have IDs, and this person was even born in a hospital. Even so, when they want to get IDs, some funny person says that they do not know them. Unless they want to put a Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) test as part of the verification process, which will now ensure that so and so is the parent of so and so, if your parent has an ID, you should automatically get an ID with no problem. However, where I come from, that problem still exists. Madam Temporary Speaker, another problem is that there are some people who are in the refugee database with an ID card. It is not that they do not have an ID card, but they want to be in a refugee camp. When someone is hungry, they just go where food is. People are given food rations and stuff like that in refugee camps. They therefore feel that it is more advantageous for them to be part of a refugee camp. They go and get food rations from there. The next time, they are told that they are in the database of refugees and therefore if their ID gets lost, they cannot get a replacement because their fingerprints have been captured in the database of the refugee camp."
