    "content": "It is prudent that the Government of Kenya recognizes them as citizens and grants them the necessary documents. This will give them an opportunity to lessen their poverty burden in Kwale County and the country at large. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you are aware, the Makonde people have resorted to walk all the way from Kwale to the State House in Nairobi to seek audience with the President in a bid to be recognised as citizens of Kenya. Recent reports indicate that the match by the Makonde to State House in Nairobi was briefly interrupted in Voi, TaitaTaveta County when they were arrested. The state should save them the agony of having to undergo such measures and treatment by granting them citizenship. We are all aware that there are many Asians and Europeans among other nationalities that come to Kenya and stay for only two years and they are granted citizenship. The over 3,000 people who have lived with us all along, should not be treated the way they are being treated. Some of them have colonial identity cards. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rest my case and I hope my colleagues will also put in their observations on the matter."
