    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Let me start by thanking the Mover of this Bill, hon. Jakoyo Midiwo. It is a very timely Bill. Time and again, we have heard the Chairman of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) say that those with provisional IDs would not be allowed to vote and this has caused a lot of hopelessness amongst Kenyans. Therefore, this Bill is addressing that anomaly. Those desperate and willing Kenyans will now get an opportunity to exercise their democratic right. A provisional ID is Government document and, therefore, Kenyans should be allowed to use it. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the fear that fake documents will be produced in Nairobi’s River Road is not a good reason. The National Intelligence Service (NIS), the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and the police should move to River Road to find out where this document is likely to be produced and deal with the suspects. Therefore, I support the amendment because it will allow Kenyans to exercise their human rights and democratic freedom. With those remarks, I beg to support."
