But that proposal was not accepted by our government because already we have enough of a refugee problem. We were negotiating, yes. But we have already given them our answer, a negative answer. Maybe his [Mr Blair's] officials have not reported back to the government. The Tanzanians are assisting us to identify some Tanzanian nationals in the UK, falsely claiming asylum as Somalis."
