"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter raised by the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Affairs is extremely important. Just like the Tesos, we have some in Kenya and also in Uganda. We have the Masaai and Kuria in both in Kenya and Tanzania. We have Luhya in Kenya and others in Uganda. Why is the Government failing to see that the Makonde people of Tanzania are the same Makonde people of Kenya? The Constitution of Kenya at Article 15(2) reads:- “A person who has been lawfully resident in Kenya for a continuous period of at least seven years and who satisfies the conditions prescribed by an Act of Parliament may apply to be registered as a citizen.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, these people have been here for over 50 years. What are we still waiting for? In fact, I am surprised that the Office of the Registrar of Persons in this country is allowing this shame to continue, exposing the Jubilee Government for what it is; one that is not able to implement this Constitution. The Government should immediately offer registration documents to all these people who are our brothers and sisters in this country."
