    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I know all hon. Members are aware that the biggest impediment to registration of voters is the identification cards. I am happy that the Minister responsible for registration, hon. Kajwang, is here. This has been the biggest problem. It has disenfranchised Kenyans for many years. Now, we must make sure that this time round, the Minister ensures that all Kenyans who are eligible to vote, and who require identification cards, are given the same without any excuses like lack of procurement, finance et cetera . So, it is very important that as we pass this Bill, identification cards will be available. As we speak today, over 50 per cent of Kenyans who need identification cards do not have them. Therefore, it will be a mockery of democracy if we cheat ourselves that we are allowing Kenyans to vote and we are registering voters, yet they cannot do so because they do not have identification cards."
