    "content": "The second thing that I would want to do is to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Ali for bringing up this Statement. The answer to this Statement lies in the attitude of law enforcement. It is a requirement of the law that Kenyans should have identification documents. If you do not have an ID and you are walking around in town, police officers from the same department of the Government which is responsible for issuance of ID cards will harass you. As Sen. Poghisio has said, there is no difference between a national ID card and a national passport. They are just identification documents only that one is used to facilitate travel outside the country. Therefore, if we can issue national ID cards at sub-county level, there is absolutely no reason why you should not issue passports at the same centres. Mr. Speaker Sir, we should push for legislation to decentralize the immigration department because the issuance of passports is a routine issue. There is nothing special with a passport that people should be denied, vetted or profiled on account of application for passports. I support."
