On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the Minister is misleading this House. If I can remember very well, it was only a few weeks ago when the Assistant Minister reported to this House that they had allocated

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not told us, if we have a disaster like what happened in Chile regarding miners; how they would go about evacuating these people who are buried underground when mining. How will the Ministry deal with such a situation?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want the Minister to understand that when somebody or a student is not able to collect his or her certificate for a period of maybe four years, that student is not able to raise the amount of fees that is required. What is the Ministry doing to make sure that such students are assisted, even if it means taking some agreement down, so that when they are through with further training or whatever they want to go and use the certificate for, they get engaged and work and then they will be able to ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to second this Motion. I also serve in the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. The Ministry of State for Defence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security are aware about the issues that prompted the two Committees to go to Garissa and Daadab to investigate certain operations or acts that took place in those areas. We want to blame the Government in the way it conducted itself in this matter. I do not want to divulge more information on this because ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government should also improve in the way it mans its borders. As the Mover has said, our borders are open and unmanned, right from Northern Kenya to the other side of Isebania, the border between Kenya and Tanzania. You know what has been happening in the border of Isebania. Cattle rustlers have been raiding Kenya and taking animals to Tanzania and yet the Government has never done anything to stop that. That means that the borders are too open and we are susceptible to any attack, anytime, by any aggressor from outside. On the ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, On the side of Somalia - you have seen it even on television- there are very many refugees from Somalia coming to Kenya through panya routes. They get their way to Garissa. Some of them bribe their way. They bribe Government officers who fail to stop them. That alone shows that we are open to attack even from Al Shabaab or any other group that operates in Somalia. If the Government does not move very fast to make sure that they seal all the loopholes which these people use to come to Kenya then one ...

The Government should also move very fast to register all the refugees. This responsibility should also be left to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to conduct registration and issue them with their own identity cards. The refugees should not use our identity cards. It is very easy for them to get our identity cards other than the Kenyan Somali who live in Garissa and other places like Wajir and Mandera. The Government should make sure that the work of registering refugees is left to the UNHCR. The other issue is with regard to the way the Government ...
