Billow","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":260,"legal_name":"Billow Adan Kerrow","slug":"billow-kerrow"},"content":"Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this is a very critical issue in most of the counties, because there are many sub-counties where the birth certificates are not available. In this day and age when all the schools demand for birth certificates, this issue becomes very critical. I do not know how the Government comes up with a policy when it does not even have the resources in place. But I would appreciate if the Chairman could indicate when this decentralization to the sub-counties actually will take place. When do we expect all the sub- counties in the country to start issuing birth certificates?"}
