    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very straightforward answer. I am surprised that the Member has not received a copy of the written answer because we sent it to Parliament. I wish he had raised up the matter with me earlier on because I would have provided him with a copy of the written answer. However, be that as it may, if it pleases this House, I would rather answer the Question because it is straightforward and then we take it from there. I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there are many people in the country who have applied for driving licences and have not been issued with the same. (b) The delay has been occasioned by the manual system of processing driving licences. The staff in the department is working extra hours to clear that backlog. The Registrar of Motor Vehicles has initiated the process of decentralizing the renewal of driving licenses starting July this year. Currently, all the branches of the National Bank of Kenya (NBK) are renewing driving licences. This is being done as a pilot case and soon, all the commercial banks will provide the service. This measure will free more staff to concentrate on clearing the backlog within the next one month."
