    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. First, I must thank you for giving me this chance to air my views on this Motion. This country has suffered and continues to suffer because of lack of proper identification. You will recall that it was only the other day when this country fell into the hands of terrorists. If we were in a position to identify the terrorists earlier, I am sure we could not have faced the problems that we faced. Having a system that will unify all the Kenyan identification documents right from birth will be the best thing that we can do. Identification documents are a big problem in this country. Kenyans, wherever they are, are asked to pay for the documents and that encourages corruption. The best way is to have a unified system of identification where individuals are known. For example, in the United States of American, if you have committed any offence and you pass through any station, you will be caught. You cannot go far. This Motion is very timely. As a country, we need to have a system that is going to unify all the identification documents, for example, passports and certificates. In this country, we have people who have two diploma certificates from different colleges because of lack of a proper identification system. I am of the view that this is the right time for us to address this issue. A unified system of identification will lessen crime. By next month, we are going to have Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education and the Kenya Certificate of Primary 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."
