Likewise, I want to pay tribute to the Burundian troops. Burundi is a country that is just emerging from civil war, yet in the interests of another African country, they were able to contribute troops to go and help restore order inside Somalia. I also pay tribute to Djibouti. All these countries have made a sacrifice. May I also mention the support that has been given by the Government of Ethiopia, which is our neighbour. It contributed troops and that made our work much easier. Hon. Kioni was concerned about the measures which are being taken to shield the process of issuance of ID cards from invasion or interference by aliens, that is people who are not Kenyan citizens, and, therefore not eligible to receive ID cards. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister in charge of immigration has put in place measures for the registration of refugees. When the refugees enter this country, they are taken to refugee camps and immediately upon arrival, their fingerprints are taken and they are registered. They are then issued with refugee ID cards. Once that has been done, it becomes impossible for such a person to go and again register as a Kenyan citizen. This is because the records are there and the computer being used will reject such a person when he wants to register again as a Kenyan citizen. However, we are also urging Kenyan citizens to co-operate with authorities. Lodging some of these suspicious characters--- Aiding and abetting them is dangerous for our internal security. Experience has shown that no one knows when an innocent refugee will turn into a terrorist. So, whenever these aliens are around, our advice to our citizens is to report the matter to the police, so that records are taken and appropriate measures put in place in order to protect our innocent citizen. In conclusion, as a country neighbouring Somalia, we have a responsibility, and I think we have discharged our responsibilities to the best of our ability as of now. We want to see a stable and economically strong Somalia. That will help us as a country. If Somalia advances, it will become a market for goods that are manufactured in Kenya and"
