    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This confirms that there is a serious issue in this country. It is a Constitutional right as said in the Statement. During the last election in my County, many youths were not able to participate because they were not registered. They never got their Identification Cards (IDs) and therefore could not be registered as voters. As a House, this is our responsibility. I thank Sen. Mumma, for this Statement. This morning, during my Committee Sitting, we had the Director General (DG), for Immigration and Registration of Persons in attendance. This is a time to request the relevant Committee to invite the person in charge of this process to appear before them to explain to Kenyans why they are unable to give our young people their IDs. The other challenge is that even when we register, we still get those IDs hanging or left in Nyayo House and even their office is National Social Security Fund (NSSF). Immediately they register they should be able to dispatch those IDs to the sub locations, locations or the County Commissioner’s office, so that the young people can collect them from the nearest stations. If you go to that Department, I am told there are very many ID cards, which have not been delivered to their respective places. I support this Statement. It is upon this House to execute it. I thank you."
