The Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government has its own mechanisms to screen and identify genuine Kenyans and separate them from the aliens and given them identity cards. Therefore, we do not need a taskforce to do that. The Department of Immigration in the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government can do this with the help of chiefs and elders. Therefore, we do not want to go to the route of having a taskforce. The idea of the amendment s very noble, but let us avoid having a taskforce, so that we can move faster and have Kenyans in the camps registered and issued with identity cards as required by law."}
