10k is fine but imagine the hustle of being deported back to Somalia and regaining entry all over again. They pay 200k because it will cost almost the same price to come in again. In addition to that, once the courts rule your deportation, they don't specify which date. It means that one has to stay in a cell until they have enough people to be deported with you. It's a fair price for someone who was already convicted, it's a hussle and daring the police to clear such cases.
