    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to thank the hon. Members, because the concern is genuine not only in Wajir but also throughout the country. I want to plead with you to consider deferring the Question so that the Assistant Minister can furnish the House with the number of Kenyans who are registered in Wajir South and the issued and processed identity cards. This is because, as we speak, 50 per cent of those cards that were brought to Nairobi have been rejected for no apparent reason. We know that they have been rejected because the people at the headquarters do not want to give us identity cards. I wish that we defer the Question, so that the Assistant Minister can furnish the House with sufficient information. I know of a lady with seven kids, who has tried more than eight times to acquire an identity card in Wajir and she has not gotten it. Her kids are almost going to secondary school. Therefore, it is apparent that nothing is happening. We are going to a general election where people are not going to participate in a manner in which we want them to. Please, defer this Question so that the House can be furnished with enough information. The information we have is sketchy!"
