    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also stand to support the Motion by hon. Nyamai. I think it has come at a time when we must support it. Carrying so many documents in the name of identification is so cumbersome and inconveniencing. We really need to have just one document to identify a person. An identification card is very important in Kenya before any service is rendered. Our children and ourselves have a lot of problems because we miss out on getting services, simply because we do not have IDs. Very recently I learnt that our children are joining our universities before reaching the age of 18 years. I do not know what is so special about the age of 18 years. I have children in my constituency who are in their second year in the university. They applied for the HELB loan but they were denied because they did not have an ID. What is so special about the age 18? If we have that number at birth and then information is updated as one grows that will help our people to get all the services they require. We need to decentralize the processing of IDs. I am requesting hon. Nyamai to come up with an amendment to the Registration of Persons Act, so that we quickly make The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
