    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be direct. When I was asking about the policy that guides registration of persons in Nairobi, I had in mind a particular case in Nairobi West of a citizen who was denied registration even after the area chief formally signed the registration documents. If the Chair allows, I will table the said documents. They were also countersigned by the elder representative from Nairobi West. In fact, he is the son of the sister of the immediate regional coordinator of Rift Valley region, one, Said Osman Warfa. Nairobi City is a home to many migrants. Everyone is not born in the city. It has a population of about five million people. Three million out of this population may have come from Bungoma, Wajir, and Isiolo among others. This policy is discriminative. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one ethnic community has been branded as aliens. I have a copy of a letter - I am ready to table it too - duly signed by the Principal Registrar, Legal, to the Assistant Director, Production, at the headquarters. It has a list of about 48 people from one ethnic community labeled as suspected aliens. This is something that happens every day. If registration is done at the county level, with the presence of a vetting committee, what is this other vetting committee at the national level that is denying Kenyans to get their registration? I table both for purposes of proof. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
