    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with the last question. We are trying to accelerate this. Right now, we are doing mobile registration and I am sure every Member of Parliament knows this. We are trying hard. In fact, there is sufficient funding for it and I am pleased that the Treasury has supported us. The production capacity which was very low and we almost closed for a whole year has resumed. We are producing almost 60,000 identity cards per day. That is proceeding well and I do not think we will have backlogs by January next year. So, the youths should not have a problem. But we cannot issue identity cards in one day for reasons that we need a lot of information on identity cards that we really do not need on passports. When applying for a passport, you come with an identity card and your birth certificate. So, it is easier, but on identity cards, there is primary information that we check because of the infiltration also of persons who are not necessarily Kenyans. So, it takes a little time, but we have tried to reduce it to these levels. The complaint is not that it takes 38 days, but that it takes more than 38 days, one or two years. I want to agree with Dr. Nuh and hon. Affey that there are areas where the officers have neglected their duty and we have to just check with them. So, we will give ourselves 14 days and I will give a proper answer."
