    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. My request for a Statement is in regard to misrepresentation of facts during issuance of identity cards (ID) in Tigania West Constituency. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding misrepresentation of facts during issuance of ID cards to Tigania West residents. Tigania West Sub-County was hived out of the greater Tigania in 2007. The first Deputy County Commissioner was posted there in the same year. Many other essential changes were to be effected by the Government, including change of the records to reflect the new administrative structure and units. Nevertheless, currently, whenever Tigania West residents apply for issuance of ID cards, the cards normally indicate Igembe South or Igembe Central as the sub-county. It is important to note that there is no interrelationship between Tigania West and those other sub-counties to occasion such misrepresentation of facts. It is against this background that I request the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security to address the following questions: (i) What is the basis for indicating in the ID cards that Tigania West Sub-County residents are from or belong to Igembe South Sub-County, which is misrepresentation of facts? (ii) What action is the Ministry taking to address this anomaly, particularly in occasioning correction of details in the already-issued ID cards? Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
