    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that it takes 45 days for the youth from North Eastern Province and northern Kenya to be issued with the national identity cards. I would like to table a document and inform this House that the Assistant Minister is misleading the House. I have waiting cards which were issued in 2002. One of these cards belongs to Hajir Abdi who comes from Habasweni. She applied for an identity card in 2002 and I would like to table her waiting card. I have another person who applied for an identity card in 2005 and that person has not been issued with one up-to-date. This is denying someone his or her right of identity. This person is known as Daudi Khalif Mohammed who applied for an identity card in Ijara in 2005. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have another waiting card for a person who applied in 2006, in Garissa Township. His name is Mohamed Noor. Garissa Township is only four hours’ drive from Nairobi. The Assistant Minister has alluded to distance as the cause of delay. So, is he in order to mislead the House and deny the youth of this country national identity cards? As I promised the House before, I have all these waiting cards. It is shameful for a Minister to tell Kenyans that it takes only 45 days for one to acquire an identification card when I have people who applied for the document as early as 2002, but who have not yet gotten it."
