Christopher Wangaya","speaker":null,"content":"timely access to opportunities requiring ID cards, but also the enjoyment of their inherent identity as citizens of Kenya. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Affairs on the following: 1. Clarification on the justification for levying an application fee of Ksh300 for the issuance of national identification cards for first-time teenage applicants who do not have their own income; and, 2. the actions that are being taken to immediately scrap the application fees for first-time teenage applicants in order to remove the prohibitive financial obligation that hinders them from obtaining the critical identification document. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."}
