    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want her to know that this is not just in regard to the North Eastern and Coast provinces. Even citizens living along the border with Uganda, and Mr. Ababu can confirm this; those along the border with Tanzania and Mr. Ojode can confirm, have also been subjected sometimes to a much more rigorous screening and vetting than other Kenyans. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate about the situation that is obtaining along our border to the East; that is the Republic of Somalia, where law and order has completely broken down. There is no effective civilian authority and as a result of this, you have a very heavy migration of people coming from that side as refugees into our country. That is what can be used to account for extra vetting of our citizens along that border. This is to ensure that we are registering or issuing Kenyan ID card to Kenyans. These refugees who come into the country are profiled and issued with alien cards. They are not issued with Kenyan identification cards. That I can confirm to hon. Members here. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Dor repeated the same question regarding borders but also went on to ask a specific question about Kenyans of Nubian origin. These Nubians are Kenyans. I want him to know that I represent the highest number"
