    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the national statistical coverage rates for 2019 stands at 75.5 per cent for births and 38.8 per cent for deaths. This is against the Department’s target of 100 per cent coverage of registration of births and deaths. The Department currently has 124 sub-county offices out of 324 sub-counties. The following counties have no offices, hence making it difficult to serve the residents of those counties effectively: Isiolo, Mandera, Samburu, Turkana, West Pokot and Nairobi. A majority of counties have, at least, two offices. The Department is unable to operationalise more sub-county offices due to low staffing levels and low budgetary allocations. As I conclude, the Department has digitised birth and death records up to September 2020. The Department engaged 9,000 youths across the country to undertake the exercise. Though the department has digitized its records, the digital records are not adding value due to lack of network connectivity in some sub-county offices. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
