    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join my colleagues in supporting the statement that was presented by Sen. Haji. Honestly, the Makonde problems have been highlighted severally in the press. However, I realise that there is no seriousness on the part of the Government. As we await the issue to be resolved, quite a number of communities that live along borders have problems. They include the Somalis who are subjected to two vetting processes. I wish all Kenyans, including the Members of the Senate knew that we have a vetting community at the local level and a national committee. There seems to be a deliberate attempt by the Government not to allow Somalis to recognise themselves as Kenyans just like what the Makondes are going through. So, the Cabinet Secretary needs to address this entirely as a matter that affects a number of genuine Kenyans and those who should have been naturalised like the Makonde people. Therefore, we expect an answer that will capture all people who are suffering across Kenya."
