    "content": "during immunization or other activities information concerning birth and any other data is captured. We need to harmonise all Government interventions such that we can get the required data. We have a challenge such that in the eight sub-counties of Wajir, you will only find two that have a civil registration center. You can imagine the number of people who come from various parts of other sub-counties to get civil registration for their children. The offices they have – not forgetting that we have COVID-19 pandemic - are so narrow and there are only a few staff. In fact, you realise that this is a service that should be offered by an independent body. Therefore, I am glad that Hon. Mary brought this matter before this House so that we can address it once and for all. We had brought an amendment earlier on but it was not taken. When we anchor this thing in law, then we will consider ourselves as the true citizens of this country and the plight of the people in such regions will have been considered. People will not need to pay bribes for such services. We need to get a solution to this issue, either through an Act of Parliament or by bringing a Bill where financial support will be provided to undertake certain initiatives. Further to that, this is a digital Government. When Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta pledged to have a digital government, we hoped to have a system that captures each and everybody’s details so that we can get adequate services like other citizens of the world. Thank you."
