"content": "I now beg to answer:- (a) I am aware that there are many youths across the country, including Wajir South that have not yet registered for identity cards. (b) The number of identity cards issued to Wajir South Constituency as per registration records from 2008 to 16th of May, this year are as follows: Diff Division in 2008 registered 410, in Habaswein we registered 930, Sabuli we registered, 1470 and total for that year was 2810. In 2009, we registered 345 for Diff, 738 for Habaswein and 632 for Sabuli, total 1715. In 2010, we registered 96 for Diff, 387 for Habaswein and 372 for Sabuli, total 855. In 2011, we registered 236 for Diff, 1060 for Habaswein and 591 for Sabuli, giving us a total of 1887. This year, we have registered 688 for Diff, 182 for Habaswein and 142 for Sabuli, giving us a total of 1012. In all these years, from 2008 to date we have registered 8279. (c) The urgent measures the Ministry has taken to register residents of the constituency are as follows:- (i) The Ministry has issued Kshs4.2 million in the current financial year to both District Registrar of Persons in Wajir South and Habaswein to enable them conduct mobile registration programmes in their respective districts. (ii) We have also posted a new Registrar to Wajir South after the previous one was kidnapped by Al-Shabaab militia in January this year. (iii) We have also issued sufficient registration materials to all Registrars in the country, including the area in question. (iv) The Ministry has waived registration fees to all applicants seeking fresh registration. (v) Lastly, the Ministry is collaborating with the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security to distribute processed cards and to publicize the need for applicants to register in large numbers. We have also opened additional District Registry in Wajir South at Leheley Town."
