"content": "When the issue of return of refugees arises, definitely, Kenyans who are in refugee camps will not want to entertain the idea. They will resist it. They will claim that if they leave the camps, they will become foreigners. They would prefer to remain in the camps. However, if we can handle their cases and isolate them in way that we can know who is a Kenyan; the Kenyan Government should not deny them their citizenship. I want to thank Sen. Haji for bringing this issue of citizenship. I support it because I know him as a patriotic Kenyan who has never taken sides in matters of citizenship. He has always stood for citizens of Kenya. I am not aware of any situation where he entertained non-citizens to be Kenyans. That is in record. The issue of citizenship will continue to be an issue because we are surrounded by neighbours who have caused us disturbances and who would like to join us. We need to have a policy of a population register. Populations should be registered when a child is born. He should be issued with a birth certificate which should be a record so that the issue of vetting them later does not arise. We need to have secure birth certificates that capture all the biometrics."
