    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, the truth need to be known that when we started training for Al- Shabaab, we were very clear that we were training for Al-Shabaab Somali, Somalis, and not Kenyan Somalis. They were asked to provide their staff for training by our forces here. Unfortunately, maybe, because of lack of employment, some of our own Kenyans also went there and posed as Somali Somalis and got themselves recruited into the training. When that became apparent, a purge was done and a number of those young Kenyans were removed from the forces. But in that kind of operation, you cannot be a 100 per cent foolproof. Therefore, it is exactly on the cards that there were some other Kenyans who were trained in the forces and who found themselves at the other side of the border but who quickly, because of lack of patriotism, found their way back into our country. It is a situation that our security forces are very alive; they know about this and every effort is being made to deal with these characters. That is the reason why the security forces in North Eastern Province has been beefed up. They have got several mobile units roaming the area looking specifically for characters like these ones."
