    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did check in my constituency last week and not in the last one month. The situation on the ground in my area, which is not far from Nairobi, is that we have young people who are still waiting for their identity cards two years down the line. It is not an isolated case. My question to the Minister is this: He has indicated that there are forms that have been referred back to the applicants for the reason that they were not properly filled. They did not indicate whether they were replacement or new applications. Is it the work of the applicant to do all those things or is there an amount of guidance that would come from the clerks? At the point at which the clerks receive the forms, they should do that initial checking so that they can help the applicants to avoid that kind of thing. While he has given 38 days as the time that a person can wait for an identity card to be processed in the ASAL areas, how many days are those outside the ASAL areas expected to wait? Is there anything that the Ministry is doing to assure the young people who are now feeling frustrated are actually fearful that they are not going to vote next year because they have been denied identity cards? What is the Ministry doing to address those issues which are rampant in Central Province?"
