    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank our distinguished colleague from Wajir County for bringing this Statement. This Statement speaks to not only Northern Kenya, but all frontier counties such as Bungoma, Busia, Trans-Nzoia, West Pokot and Turkana counties which suffer the same fate. Sen. (Dr.) Ali and our colleagues from the North are complaining about passports issuance. In our counties, it is a struggle getting a national identity card. It is hard to get a national identity card in areas such as Pokot, Bungoma, and Trans Nzoia. You are required to attach copies of identity cards of your grandfathers during application. I wonder where one is supposed to get the identity cards of their great grand fathers who lived at a time when there were no identification documents. Identification and travel documents are a constitutional right for every Kenyan. The Committee responsible that you may refer this statement to must call the Minister for Interior and Coordination of National Government and the responsible departments to explain why people who live in frontier counties are discriminated against routinely as if they are not legitimate Kenyans."
