"content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I am shocked that these forms are being sold. They are supposed to be free. I may just share with you the fees for registration, so that we can guide our people accordingly. If you are registering a birth without any amendment to names, it is only Kshs50. If you are registering a death with some amendments, then it is Kshs130. But if you are registering a late registration, which means applying for registration after the first six months, you pay Kshs150. I hear that in some places, it is a little more expensive than this. I want to use this forum to state clearly that those are the fees. We do not have sufficient officers, and we are begging the Treasury to give us authority to hire more staff. In the meantime, I can ask my officers in Mbale to be going to Emuhaya may be once or twice a week to register people. However, this will be a thing of the past. We are going to carry out some registration in Kitui in a pilot scheme. We are giving all the teachers in the larger Kitui County in primary and secondary schools materials, so that headteachers, with the help of assistant chiefs, can complete the forms, put the necessary stamps and signatures. Our officers will then collect the forms and, within the shortest time possible, hand over back the certificates. I think this will wipe out some of the delays in Standard Seven to Standard One. For very many years after this, Kitui will not have this problem. However, we will replicate that in every county, if this comes out successful. I can assure you that this problem will not be with us for too long."
