Speaker, I, the undersigned, on behalf of the residents of Garissa and Wajir counties, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, after nearly 60 years of Independence many residents of Garissa and Wajir counties still do not possess identification documents; THAT, Articles 1(1) and 2(1) of the Constitution provide that sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya, and further stipulates that the Constitution be the supreme law that binds all persons and state organs at both levels of government; THAT, Article 12 of the Constitution provides that every citizen is entitled to the rights, privileges and benefits of citizenship that include a Kenyan passport and any document of registration or identification issued by the State to its citizens; THAT, despite the clear provisions of Articles 1(1), 2(1) and 12 of the Constitution, many Kenyans residing in Garissa and Wajir counties have been denied registration and identification documents which have in essence rendered them stateless; 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."
