    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a Ministerial Statement to make which I was requested yesterday by Mr. Ochilo-Ayacko. However, if it is agreeable to Mr. Khamisi, I will dispose of both issues because they refer to the same thing. The National Registration Bureau (NRB) is mandated by the Registration of Persons Act, Cap.107, to identify, register and issue identity cards (IDs) to Kenyans who have attained 18 years and above and have been charging fees for the service provided. The fees vary depending on the type of application and the amount payable is announced through the various legal notices. All eligible bona fide Kenyans are, therefore, subjected to such payments regardless of their social or economic backgrounds. Following the recent Presidential directive, the department has now waived the payment of Kshs50. The fee was chargeable to persons applying for initial registration and those who attain the mandatory 18 years of age and above. Consequently, I have signed a legal notice effective from 17th March, 2006, which amends Rule (IV) of the Registration of Persons Act Paragraph 2 (a) by deleting the words:- \"And such a person shall pay to the registration officer a fee of Kshs50 in case of initial registration.\" I have notified all registrars of persons countrywide to stop any further charges on non- previous registered persons."
