    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Motion which I support very strongly has come at the right time. Indeed, students are the most affected especially the Form Four leavers. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, recently in my constituency, I came across students who have been admitted to join various universities. The main challenge they had was that, without identity cards, they would not get any assistance in the name of loans that the Government gives them. Indeed, in this country we do not know why issues are taken very slowly. On the issue of birth certificates --- I happen to have been a teacher and also I was a neighbour to the office of registration of persons in Bomet. I used to see long queues of students which went into the night. Therefore this Motion should be acted upon very fast. We are now talking about the Uwezo Fund and many of our youth will not register their programmes because of lack of these documents. The Government wants to give them loans in order to, at least, engage in some business activities to earn a living. So, I support and thank the Chair. Let me tell this House that some of us have taken it that this august House belongs to a particular group or a clique of friends. I must thank the Chair. We do not want to have a habit of seeing common figures or hon. Members being given a chance to contribute all the time. Thank you, hon. Speaker."
