    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have enquired and there was a statement that was given by the Provincial Commissioner of North Eastern Province to the effect that registration of persons in North Eastern Province will be frozen until such time that certain security concerns are addressed. The security concerns are the following: There is a huge influx of foreigners from Somalia or should I call it the former Somalia. In fact, we are getting 300 to 500 people entering our territory every day from Somalia. This has gone on for the last three or so years. When we register them as refugees, some of them leave the camp and come into the cities. Sometimes, they leave the city and proceed to the southern part of the continent through our neighbouring countries. So, Kenya has had a problem and we have been accused internationally of being a corridor or a conduit for the Somali nationals who pass through our territory. But some of them actually apply for and obtain our national identity cards unlawfully and use them to even obtain our passports also unlawfully and then proceed to foreign countries purporting to be Kenyans when they are not. So, this has been a problem which we have been seeking to address."
