    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to apologise for not being in the House yesterday to answer the Question. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Rev. Paul Sodi has not been granted Kenyan citizenship because his immigration status May 10, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 1259 became void when his current work permit No.815812 expired on 24th January, 2007. Besides, the subject has not responded to our letter of 18th January, 2005 requesting him to collect a set of citizenship questionnaire forms for completion and return them to the Ministry for consideration and final action. (b) Miss Meena Singh was born on 25th October, 1985 to an Indian father, Mr. Sodi, and a Kenyan mother Ms. Kombo. The subject has both constitutional claim to Indian and Kenyan citizenships until she attains the ages of 21 to 23 when she is required by law to renounce the alternative Indian citizenship and discard dual citizenship status. This is consistent with Section 97(1) of the Constitution of Kenya. The Ministry can only consider her application for a Kenyan Identity Card (ID) if Miss Meena renounces her Indian citizenship because Kenyan IDs are only issued to bona fide Kenya citizens."
