    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know whether I should laugh or cry. Part \"a\" of my Question was:- \"Is the he aware that the issuance of passports is taking a long time, contrary to the Government policy that the same should be processed promptly?\" Here, he says that he is not aware. But, again, he says that it takes 20 days. Is 20 days really a short time? Secondly, I am really shocked by the Minister, who is telling this House that there is a special vetting committee here in Nairobi, whereas you are aware that we have PCs, DCs and DOs right on the ground with their security committee, who could as well do this vetting. It is not only that. Somebody coming from Mandera will have to use Kshs6,000 for transport. If he has to stay in Nairobi for 20 days waiting for his passport to be processed, he will have to spend another Kshs2,000 every day and yet, we are aware that the people of North Eastern Province are under- developed and have a very high level of poverty. Is this Government in order to aggravate the poverty of these people by forcing them to come here and wait for 20 days to get their passports?"
