    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this time. I will talk about the issue of the IDs. The IDs do not only give one access to Government services only, but is about access to job opportunities. Some of our youth need IDs to seek job opportunities. You find that most of the time you are told that the process is prolonged. I will talk about the Somali community in Kenya. The problem we have is that we have to verify that we are issuing birth certificates and IDs to the right people. However, there is institutional discrimination to the extent that the National Intelligence Services (NIS) has been introduced within the immigration procedure. The National Registration Bureau even subject newborns of Somali origin for verification by an NIS officer. You find that when both parents are Kenyans of Somali origin, even though they have proper documents if they get a child, an NIS officer has to verify that new-born child is not a terrorist in order for them to get a birth certificate registered in this country, Some of things that have been put in that process are institutionalized discrimination, which have been normalized. This is to the extent that the Somali community know that even if they are Kenyans with passports, a birth certificates or are married to fellow Kenyans, they have to go through NIS when they get a child and the process of getting a birth certificate for that child is prolonged one."
