    "content": "Yes, hon. Deputy Speaker, but you know as I sit as the Member for Garissa Town, there is a very serious statement the Chair made and I want him to expunge it from the HANSARD. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security talked about screening cards. That was the worst thing that happened to the people of northern Kenya. You cannot even mention “screening cards” in this House. Of the Somalis who refused them is the current Supreme Court Judge, Mohammed Ibrahim, whom I want to thank when he said that there are Luhyas who live in Busia and Uganda; that there are Pokots who live in Kenya and also in Uganda; that there are Maasais who live in Kenya and also in Tanzania and that there are Somalis who live in Kenya and also in Somalia. It is not complex; it is about prejudice, discrimination and marginalising a community. I want to beg the Chair to expunge the element of screening cards. When you talk of screening cards, some of us feel like vomiting. We do not want to hear that. We do not want our children to hear that. It was the most discriminatory card brought by the Kenya Government under the leadership of Moi."
