    "content": "responsibility, especially the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, who are very instrumental, together with the Ministry of Devolution, to deal with the establishment of those Huduma Centres. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not understand why we make progress with one arm of what we want to do to modernize society and then retrogress on the other. For example, why was it found adequate and necessary that with just a pin number, you can get all your transactions and services like paying your taxes? Just that number identifies you. If you say your pin number, you can get your services. They know that the owner of the pin number is Wamatangi and it is not duplicated, including even a phone number. In the course of modernization and making things easier, why is it important to continue warning somebody to come and register, go sit, wait and come back to collect a document when the world is digitizing? What would be the big story if the Government would think that all you need to be identified is a number? You go there and say your pin number and all your details are there. It says that this is a gentleman called so-and-so, and all those details. At the end of the day, one of the big problems that we have had according to the relevant Ministry is duplication. You find that need to go and register and go through an entire lengthy process to get a passport. They will ask you for the same repeated documents. You then have to register for an examination. You go through the same process, register and bring things, then the process is over. Then you go to the national ID, and it is the same process. Duplication of the system for purposes of identification must be brought to a halt. We urge relevant Cabinet Secretaries to think. They should not punish people, but make sure they offer services to Kenyans. If there are other requirements needed to identify somebody for any other reason, then it must be done expeditiously."
