"content": "take them to the clerks to print photographs of the applicants. I call them candidates because they are the ones waiting. Most of the time after the applications, they have to bring forms all the way to Nairobi. In most cases, I have been requested to facilitate their movement to Nairobi. This, in itself, leads to inefficiency. Sometimes, there is corruption. People wait for four, five or sometimes eight months to get IDs. By decentralising this process, we will also create jobs in the counties. Instead of having them in Nairobi, various counties will have clerks working in this office. When an ID has been processed, you find that photographs have been given wrong names. It is easier for us to correct it at the county level rather than after it has come to Nairobi. Sometimes it is thrown away. You find that some of the IDs take a long time because photographs were mismatched. For example, the face of Mr. Wanyonyi appears on an ID belonging to Jane Wambui. So, that kind of a thing has been there. That kind of inefficiency has caused delay. We have cases where somebody travels all the way because they need the ID to process either a loan or sometimes get funds from the Uwezo Fund and other services. He is forced to come all the way to the NSSF Building in Nairobi. Going to the NSSF Building should be a thing of the past; we are in the 21st Century. Let us move to the county and decentralise services. I have no other contribution to make, but because of those inconveniences, let us move to the county, decentralise the system, so that we can speed up delivery of services to our people. I support."
