    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding registration of births in Mandera County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) State plans, if any, by the Government to decentralize registration of birth services from Mandera Town to other centres in the county, noting that mothers from far- flung parts of the County such as Elwak and Takaba, have to travel hundreds of kilometres to the only Registration of Births Office in the county situated in Mandera Town. (2) Explain measures put in place by relevant Government authorities, to ensure children born out of hospitals in remote parts of Mandera County are registered and issued with birth certificates, noting that birth notification is hardly issued in home deliveries. (3) State measures put in place to facilitate late registration of births in Mandera County, in view of the fact that many infants in Mandera are often not registered upon birth due to the nomadic lifestyle of the local population yet a birth certificate is an essential requirement for school enrolment. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
