    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. I had wanted to contribute to the main Motion, but I want to say that I oppose the amendment because, as has been said, this Motion is self explanatory. It wants all Kenyans who are eligible to be registered. Besides, we have been given direction by the Chairman of the Departmental Committee in charge of security. As my contribution, the ID card is a basic right of every Kenyan. I feel that Kenyans who need ID cards should be facilitated to obtain them. Officers who are currently registering people should know that we do not have enough awareness. We need those officers to work with other Government agencies like education officers, and visit schools for registration, as has been said by the previous speaker. If they do not have vehicles, let them work with people who have vehicles within districts. They can also work with chiefs at their barazas. When chiefs hold barazas, registration officers can go there and register young people who do not have ID cards. When they get ID cards, then they can be facilitated to get jobs. Acquisition of ID cards will also enhance the security of this country."
