    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Kenyans are suffering because there is no employment. I am one of the Kenyans who worked in Somalia. There are three categories of Kenyans working in Somalia. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, there are those, like myself, who are international workers who can be returned back to Kenya within four hours when there is chaos. Secondly, there are those Kenyans of Somali descend, who work for local Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) and who pass as Somalis so that they can get employment. Thirdly, there are Kenyans who work for private entities. When war breaks out, all those Kenyans need protection from this Government. So, for you to purport that you need an identity card to prove that you are a Kenyan when you are running away from war is abdicating your responsibility as a Government. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, there are two Kenyans who have been reported to have been taken from Kenya to Somalia and are now in Ethiopia. Now that there is renewed 468 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 10, 2007 fighting in Somalia and all the nations, including Britain and Sweden have moved fast to airlift their nationals from there and, now that you know that there are Kenyans there, what are you doing to bring them back? If they have committed any offence, you should take them to court."
