    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I quite agree with Sen. Kiraitu that there is need really to look into this issue further and see how best we can fast-track the issuance of birth certificates. But we cannot compare marriages with births, because the births are so many compared to marriages. We could have only five or so marriages in a week. But I do agree, as Sen. Ndiema has observed, that the Government can come up with a better method of issuing birth certificates. Even in the issuance of identity cards, the delay is caused because all the forms are filled and pictures taken in the registration centres, but they have to be sent to Nairobi, and it takes a very long time for them to go back. I will take up the suggestions which have been made by the Senators with the relevant authorities. The chiefs should be given registration forms together with the certificates, so that they can issue them whenever parents register their children. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, regarding the question raised by Sen. Billow and Sen. Abdirahman on decentralization, it is really very difficult to give a timetable. As you have rightly The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
