    "content": "just excuses. Sadly, that is accepted by the TSC. I hope this does not happen. The TSC should recruit teachers from that area and the qualifications pegged on teachers should not apply to a certain extent in those areas, so that local teachers can be employed. Another issue is access to citizenship documents by my constituents, namely, identity cards and passports. A week ago, I was pursuing a case where a young man from my constituency, who is qualified in every way, was following me for almost two weeks so that I could facilitate him to be issued with a passport. When I took up the matter, I was told it is the intelligence officers who verify whether he is a Kenyan or not. I had to follow up and intelligence people had no problem and have given him a go-ahead. But it took a lot of time for that information to be given even with the advanced technology. I know with the Integrated Population Registration System (IPRS) in place and the Huduma Namba that we have registered, this verification from the ground should not take place anymore. This information should be at the fingertips of immigration officers. I consulted the Director and he said he is doing something about it. I hope that is going to work. I do not want any more of my constituencies running after me for basic rights like identity cards. Another challenge that I have is security because I border Somalia. My constituency gets a lot of incursion from an illegal group that operates in Somalia. I want some facilities like sub-counties established so that I can get enough security personnel to beef up security in my area. I know I will have more time to speak and that is what I wish to say for now. Thank you."
