    "content": "Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I agree that there is need. It is high time IDs are given out at the grassroots level in the counties. The reason is very simple. Our youth are being marginalised. They cannot get IDs or any form of employment because of that. The Constitution of Kenya is very clear: Sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya. Article (1)(2) of the Constitution states that the people may exercise their sovereign power either directly or through democratically elected representatives. That cannot be possible without an ID card. Secondly, in Article 12(b) of the Constitution, every citizen is entitled to a Kenyan passport and any document of registration or identification issued by the State to citizens. This is feasible. It can be done."
