    "content": "At the outset, I oppose this Bill. As much as the Bill suggests extensive amendments to the Registration of Persons Act, there are inherent dangers and risks in it. The first risk is that of exclusion. The Bill does not sufficiently address concerns of exclusion repeatedly raised by the civil society and the public. There are thousands of Kenyans who have no birth certificates and identity cards. There is no clear indication as to how those people will get those documents. With the Huduma Card, one has to have an identity card or a birth certificate. Kenyans who do not have those documents run a risk of being excluded. There are thousands of Kenyans who do manual labour and when they are taken for biometrics, they cannot be captured. This Bill does not say how those people will be captured. Street families and street children are Kenyans who run the risk of being excluded from the Huduma Card."
