"content": "Let me combine that with what Dr. Nuh said about registering 50 people per day. I want to use this platform to tell my Registrars that there is no fixed number that can be registered. You register as many people as will avail themselves that day. I was in Kilifi only the other day. There was a turn-out of almost 200 young people who wanted to be registered. In fact, most of them were young married mothers. We registered over 200. So, this fiction that you can only do 50 does not arise. However, in very difficult areas, sometimes chiefs and our registrars are compromised. In some cases, we have had to report and arrest some chiefs and our own registrars for registering non-Kenyans, and being bribed to do so. But I do not want to use that, because if we use that as a load, then we will never ever get satisfied; somebody should be registered, and it will just be a bottleneck. So, let us use the chiefs because they are the Government there; let us use the elders, and let us identify every other document that we can use to confirm that somebody is a Kenyan. Anybody who abuses this, and we have the information, of course, he will be arrested and jailed, according to the provisions of the law."
