    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have an issue with part “c” of the Assistant Minister’s answer where he has insisted that there is no provision for Kenyans to register as voters in a station of their choice. Voting is a constitutional right which must be exercised by every Kenyan and this can only be done by being able to register as a voter. There are many Kenyans who are unable to travel to these wards that the Assistant Minister has stated. For example, here in Nairobi there are many workers who cannot afford the fares to places like Moyale, Lodwar, Mandera and many others. Considering that many students who can hardly afford a meal are expected to pay Kshs5,000 to Kshs6,000 just to travel and register as voters, in the same spirit that the Assistant Minister has made East African communities be able to vote like those in Uganda and Rwanda and especially those in Uganda who find it easier to come to Kenya through the western part of the country, what urgent steps is he taking to ensure that these Kenyans who are unable to reach those wards he has indicated in his answer do not miss out from this national exercise?"
