    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to speak to this matter. I congratulate Hon. Mary Wamaua for bringing this Motion which resonates well with the people of Kenya. If you look at civil registration, there is a problem in Murang’a, there is equally a problem in North Eastern and northern Kenya. People in northern Kenya have not adequately accessed any registration centre. Offices, dispensaries or health facilities which can provide birth notifications are not there. Offices are not decentralized and so people cannot get birth certificates and IDs. This has been a big challenge. When you cannot get an ID you are not considered as a citizen of Kenya. Many a times, the people of northern Kenya lack ID cards and registration certificates because they cannot access civil registration at birth. This has been a challenge to us such that it makes people doubt whether we are true citizens of this country. We lack very important documents that are issued through civil registration. So, I am very glad that you have brought this. I will further suggest that civil registration should be decentralized to sub-counties such that even The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
