"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support the Motion and go a little further than that. The Minister is a lawyer. Although he sits in the office, he is a very efficient man. Instead of combining the two documents into one, I suggest that the document be 594 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 23, 2008 made electronic in order to support all Kenyans everywhere in the whole world. Kenya is an ICT savvy country to date and, in fact, we are going to the villages in the countryside with what is called \"digital villages.\" We will also have ICT centres in District Commissioners' offices to allow Kenyans to access the Central Government electronically. I suggest that we make an identity card that is purely electronic. The whole world is moving towards that direction. If we made it that way, we would also avoid the problem we witnessed in December during the elections, of tampering with votes. If we tamper with electronic voting, it is very easy to note. In fact, very few people can be allowed to make any alterations in the electronic voting system. For that reason, I suggest that the document be made electronic even though it can be read physically. Everything can be embedded in the document to make it readable electronically and also physically. That document should be used everywhere including to enter Parliament. One should be able to swipe it to identify himself and gain entry into the building. I beg to support. Thank you."
