    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, during the recruitment of these young people, the Provincial Administration in northern Kenya suspended the issuance of identity cards. Even under the United Nations international laws, recruiting people from refugee camps is a violation of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Act of operations. It is a violation of the UN Security Council and the Human Rights Watch has written a report on the alleged recruitment of youth from our regions. The question that we are asking is that if - as this Report stipulates - the Kenyan Government can facilitate the recruitment of young Kenyans into a military wing that will support the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) in Somalia, then how safe are we as a region and as a country if the other militants, including AlShabaab, will come to northern Kenya and recruit our youth? Then why should the Government or the international community be worried when it is alleged that AlShabaab will come and recruit young people from Kenya when we are told and evidence has been given that Government officers are abetting and co-ordinating the recruitment of young Kenyans in this process?"
