    "content": "We need to consider the welfare and working conditions of our judges, before we increase their numbers. Where will they sit? We should improve facilities in terms of ICT infrastructure. Our judges must be tired of writing judgements using the old technology. Judgements by judges in the United States of America (USA) are written in Nairobi by Kenyans using the ICT technology. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the last point in my contribution is the question of identity cards. Many Kenyans will not be able to democratically elect their leaders this year because they do not have identity cards. We want to urge the Ministry concerned to speed up the issuance of identity cards. I wish to also recommend to the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) to extend the period of registration of voters. I wish to appeal to this House that, when the time comes to debate the budget for those two departments, we should give adequate resources. That way, they can improve allowances for staff who issue identity cards and those who register voters in the ECK. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
