    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The decision to make birth certificates a requirement for 2010 KCPE and KCSE registration was to enhance the integrity of examinations conducted by Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC). It will help in identification of candidates, elimination of exam cheating and enhance student tracking. (b)The urgent inter-Ministerial steps that the Ministry has taken to ensure the issuance of birth certificates are as follows:- (i) All persons seeking birth certificates need only to deposit application forms at the district civil registrars and return to collect the certificates after seven days. (ii)The Ministry of Immigration and Registration of Persons will hire additional personnel to cope with the increased applications for birth certificates. (iii)The Ministry is not considering suspending that requirement, but has extended the deadline for submission of birth certificate applications for the purpose of examination registration from 31st March to 30th June, 2010, to allow parents and students enough time to meet that requirement. However, the deadline of all other documents for examination registration remains 31st March, 2010."
