    "content": "Hon. Members, as you are aware, during the launch of voters registration at the Kenyatta International Conference Centre by His Excellency the President, Hon. Mwai Kibaki on 19th November, 2012, the Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Mr. Ahmed Issack Hassan recognized the support of Government, the State Law Office, other agencies and, indeed, Parliament for working closely with the Commission in achieving its mandate. Hon. Members, the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 guarantees the freedom of citizens to exercise their political rights through taking part in a regular, free and fair election. To participate during the elections, citizens must be registered voters. The registration is ongoing with only 15 days left yet the target of registering over 18 million voters is far away below the expectations. It is on this note that I appeal to all Kenyans who hold the National Identification Card or a valid Kenyan passport to turn up in large numbers to register at the centres at which they intend to vote during the 4th March, 2013 General Elections. This is, therefore, to appeal to all hon. Members to come out robustly and encourage Kenyans to register as voters within the remaining two weeks. I thank you."
