    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this time to oppose this Motion. I will take only two minutes because I can gauge the mood of the House. I want to give them time to do justice to this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, in his contribution, said that we must go home today because he expects us to solve peoples' problems while we are on recess. One of the problems in my constituency is the acquisition of national Identification Cards (IDs). In the two districts of Butere and Mumias, we do not have a single camera for taking photographs that are used in making the IDs. Indeed, we have been pleading with the Government to speed up the issuance of IDs in our constituencies. Nothing is happening on the ground. So, I want to ask the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs to advise me on how to assist my people get IDs. There is no camera in the entire district. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, there is a time we are asked to pass some votes here under the system called guillotine. Under that system, we do not scrutinise votes of a number of Ministries. They just go under guillotine. Between now and 25th September when he expects us to be away, I want to ask the House to refuse to go home today, so that the Government tables all Ministries' votes here. I am sure, within one month, we should have gone through all of them. With those few remarks, I beg to oppose."
