Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to support this Motion subject to some amendment. I have no problem with all Kenyans being issued with identification cards because that is a fundamental right to all Kenyans. But I have a problem when we propose amnesty for people living in Wajir, Garissa and Mandera counties who may have been erroneously registered as refugees. That would be opening a whole legal regime on issues of immigration, vetting and all those other related matters. For me, if the Motion reads that we issue identity cards to all eligible Kenyans and we duly ...

vetted and vetted and you are made to look like a criminal because of what has been happening at the Immigration Department; corrupt practices. When we say that all eligible Kenyans are entitled to identity cards, that takes into account even Somalis as long as they are Kenyans. When we raise the issue of refugees, we are opening a Pandora’s box. We are likely to bring in people who are not Kenyans and we all know that our borders are porous. Therefore, I will support this Motion.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to propose an amendment to this Motion by deleting all the words after the word “registered” and replacing them with the words “and issue with identity cards”. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is so that the identity cards are available to all Kenyans who should be duly registered and issued with identity cards. The reason for this amendment is the fact that all Kenyans are eligible to get identity cards. When we start bringing in the issue of refugees and amnesty and issues of integration then we are bringing in other dimensions. We are ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise in support of this Mediation Committee Report and the Bill. I would like to say, right from the outset that today, if this Bill was in place, I would not have wasted my time to go to my governor. It is very unfair to appear before your governor and appear like a stranger, when you are talking on issues about development. Therefore, I see this Bill as a proper medium to propel development in the county. We must accept as much as we support devolution, it has had its own challenges. This ...
