    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this amendment. I want to say that the amendment is not in good faith because the fact that somebody walked to a refugee camp is a self- manifestation that he is not a Kenyan, but a refugee. Giving opportunities for refugees to come and register will not be a very good thing for Kenyans. We need the IDs like yesterday because they will help Kenyans who want to get jobs and passports. It will be in good faith for us to use this opportunity to help the Government fast-track the registration of Kenyans by making those responsible for registration to avail the requisite materials that we need for registration and make sure that the exercise is corruption free. Today, the inhibiting factor in registration is the obstacles or the bureaucracy that Government officers create for the purpose of soliciting bribes. While we need them as politicians for voter registration and making sure that we have proper census, we will not help them when we bring in strangers like people who have walked to the nearest refugee 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."
