27going. That means they don’t have Constitutional right, they don’t have the right to vote like other Kenyas. In the Constitutionof Kenya have been infringed. This is what is coming out. This is why we are saying the screening, be removeda and othermethods be found to ensure that those who are Kenyans have the right documents.So a way must be found, it is discriminatory. These people, the Somalis are saying why should we have this tag alone. Then ifthis thing is not a continuous process, then people are supposed to have the cards and they are not there. It is important thatonly Kenyans get the right cards? How do we do it? Justice for us. That is what I would have said about this screening. Eventhe Idians don’t have, what about these indigeneous Africans, why do we have this? This is a question we are asked aspoliticians and we are unable to answer. But the idea is for Kenyans to have the right documents. But how should they have?That’s a method. A better way must be found. We must figure it out.Well I think one issue , there is a lot of corruption for those who give the documents. People say they blame the leaders theyare the ones who make, but those officers like for example, a passport in Nairobi, It is very difficult for Kenyan Somalis to getpassports in Nairobi, but Kenyans from across are the ones who are getting the passports, all the time and all the documents.They are up for sale. It’s something that is known. We are not party to it, how are they getting? You go somewhere you getthe birth certificate, you go somewhere you get the ID card, it’s not us - the Somalis, who are giving them. They are going tothe office.Corruption: You must have zero tolerance. This is one way of doing it, and Kenyans must not sell their rights. This issomething, and we require a lot of civic education for these areas, for people especially North Eastern, we need a lot of them.What about even us, sometimes we are being told, it is us the Somalis who are giving these things. In Nairobi, and passports,who are those people sitting in those offices? They are not Somalis, many of them. Infact there was one guy who went theother time, and I know sometimes we might be party to it some of us. Nobody is free from blame, but sometimes peopleinteract that is the Kenyan problem. We must address that Kenyan problem; We must not sell our citizenships, its somethingfor us all.Com. Isaac Lenaola: Asante sana Mheshimiwa, (not clear) Abdi RahamanAbdi Rahaman: Asalamu aleykum.
