    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me give a short background of what happened. The refugee camps are for refugees from neighbouring countries. Some are from Somalia, Sudan, Congo and many other countries. So, when you get into a refugee camp we register you from your country of origin and indicate that you are from Somalia or Sudan. Of course, we have now learnt that there are some Kenyans who, because of adversities like drought, hunger and availability of relief food within the refugee camps, cheat that they are refugees; they cheat about their country of origin. Some say they are Somalis or Sudanese when they are actually Kenyans. Since we have an electronic data base, when we register you as a refugee we take your thumb print. When you apply for an identity card, we check our computers and find that you have already been registered as a refugee through what is technically called “biometric system”. When we are confronted by this, the assumption is that you are a foreigner because that is how you registered first; until you persuade us that you are a Kenyan, we are reluctant to register you."
