    "content": "Hon. Speaker, on 29 May 2025, over 2,000 national identity cards that were awaiting collection by applicants, together with the collection register, reportedly disappeared from the National Registration Bureau office in Nyandarua West, Ol Jorok constituency, under unclear circumstances. The matter was reported to the Ol Jorok Police Station under Occurrence Book (OB) No.08/29/5/2025. This incident has triggered serious concerns among residents, particularly the youth, over the safety of their personal information, hindrance to accessing critical governance services and participation in the democratic process. Notably, the affected residents are concerned that their identity cards are likely to be used for illegal activities. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following: 1. A report on the circumstances leading to the reported loss of the 2,000 national Identity Cards and the collection register from the National Registration Bureau office in Nyandarua West, Ol Jorok Constituency on 29 May 2025. 2. The status of the investigation into the incident as reported at the Ol Jorok Police Station under OB No.08/29/5/2025 and the findings of those investigations. 3. Measures put in place to ensure that the serial numbers of the missing identity cards are not flagged out to mitigate the risk of being used for illegal activities. 4. The steps that are being taken to replace the identity cards and issue them to the beneficiaries free of charge and without delay. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
