    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, many of the people who go to refugee camps do so with the intention of getting permission to get settlement out of this country. So, when they do not get it, they now revert back to get an opportunity to be a Kenyan now again; which means they are not very sincere Kenyans. That is because if you are a sincere Kenyan, you cannot go to a refugee camp to make yourself a refugee so that you can get that status to get out of the country. No. That is not necessary. So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we want everybody in this country to get an identification card. I come from a border county where we have people who purport to be Pokots from Uganda but they go through the vetting process which is there in all the border districts. Of course, we do not refuse since there are a lot of problems in those processes of vetting that we need to scrutinize very well so that the officers who are supposed to be vetting people should be very sincere. The people go through a lot of problems but we cannot purport to say: Let us get people come out of refugee camps to be registered as Kenyan citizens and yet they took themselves there intentionally intending to get permission to go out of the country.
