    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to inform my learned friend - because these proceedings are being watched live on television - that he has made a statement that IEBC should consider allowing Kenyans with waiting cards to register as voters. However, the law is clear that the only document you can present is either a valid passport or a national identity card. My learned colleague being a good friend of mine and a lawyer should not create the wrong impression that there is a lacuna in the law for waiting cards to be used. What we should be doing is to urge the Government to facilitate issuance of ID cards unless we amend the law to allow those with waiting cards to register as voters. I thought it is important I inform my learned colleague what the position in law is as of today. Thank you."
