    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Of course, I do not shy away from responding. Firstly, I have never purported to be digital. So, those who purport to be digital must prove that they are indeed digital. Although I do not purport to be digital, I am more digital than the Government. Secondly, some of us learn running. If I had told you that I was digital, in six months’ time, I would truly be digital. So, the hon. Member should tell the Government to pull up their socks. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would also want to indicate that when documents of identification are not attained very quickly, we deny young people the ability to access resources. Just last week, I was in my constituency. There are many groups that applied for registration a year ago but, to-date, they have not been registered. If a simple registration certificate for a group takes forever to come out, surely, it still goes back to what I was telling the hon. Member. Really, this does not even require digital technology. They cannot even handle analogue technology. So, why jump to digital technology? Issuance of registration certificates is a very simple thing. So, I would want to encourage this Government to be serious, if they are really committed to furthering the welfare of young people and women. Some of these things affect women and young people much more than other sectors of our society. With those remarks, I beg to support."
