    "content": "particular area as refugees must be addressed. We want to understand what is erroneous. What is the error? Is it fraudulent? Is it a genuine error? Those are issues that cannot be cured by a Motion on the Floor of this House. Remember that there are different legal regimes that deal with issues of immigration; there is the Refugees Act which deals with the issues of refugees and so on. Considering that Kenya, now more than ever before is under great threat of terrorism and has a new influx of refugees and the Refugee Act has not been enforced properly, we need to follow the properly laid down framework of the law to find out whether the people who are living in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera are properly identified and given identification documents. This is because that is their constitutional right. They need to feel and belong to this country. If we bring a Motion that says that we want to restore their privileges as citizens of Kenya, we need to remember that every Kenyan is born and those privileges are inherent; they are in every Kenyan. We cannot fight a situation where we are saying we want to restore privilege on Kenyans because there has been an error in the manner in which they were registered. This is a good Motion, but it should end as hon. Njuguna says that every Kenya should be registered and issued with an identification card. When we go to other issues of immigration, restoration of privileges and integration into the community, we shall be treading on very slippery ground which borders on infringement of our Constitution. I second the amendment."
