    "content": "Four, the issue of refugees. Five is our border controls and six is the issue of discrimination particularly of the genuine Kenyan- Somali citizens.First, with the identification of Kenyans, what we need is a single identification document. That, it will be an ID; it will be a voter’s card; it will be a passport number and it will be also a tax pin. Anything you do as a Kenyan with this number, we are able to track whatever you have done within the country. If you have travelled out, if you have voted or if you have committed any fraud, we have enough data base. Right now, the fiber optics has gone to the entire country. We can know and track every Kenyan as far as their identification is concerned. The Motion is calling on the Government to move with due speed to introduce the single identification system in the country so that we can capture all Kenyans adequately and can track them - including even their driving licenses. It can all be in one particular document if you press it from any relevant terminal, we can tell everything else about that particular individual. As to the issue of citizenship arising out of this Motion, there is no question of amnesty as we have already resolved. Any person who wants to apply to be a Kenyan citizen, whether originally a Somali or not, can apply any time and if you qualify, you will be given that citizenship. The moment you are, our identification system will track your every movement. With this single identification system, it will be possible to have a terminal at any station, when any suspect reports to that station; we can get his history of everything he has done in the country, including where he has travelled or any other brushes with the law. As to the issue of terrorism, this is very tricky. The suspicion and the discrimination of our Somali citizens arise out of the suspicion that initially, Al Shaababs were largely Somalis. But now they have recruited many other Kenyans who are also members of the Al Shaabab . The Somali elders must agree to work with our security systems to stop the issue of terrorism and the Al Shaabab threat to this country. Until they do so, the Mover of the Motion would have to request you to round up the entire Somali The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
