    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons on the circumstances why the Ministry has suspended the issuance of national identity cards in North Eastern Province which, as you know, the acquisition of a national identity card is a basic constitutional right. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Minister to inform the House on the number of youths affected in this particular exercise and the period for which they were affected, particularly the youths who just completed their national examinations and who wanted to register in order to participate in the referendum and also to participate as voters. As you know, the Interim Independent Electoral Commission (IIEC) will commence the registration of voters very soon. Therefore, the circumstance is such that a very large population of Kenyans in that part of the country will not have access to this registration exercise. I seek this Statement from the Minister very, very urgently."
