    "content": "our young people IDs, we will be violating the Constitution. If we were to follow the Constitution properly, if people are not given IDs, there should be no elections because then we will be disenfranchising the whole population. There must be fairness and equity in the provision of IDs. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. C. Kilonzo mentioned the issue of marriage. A lot of young people, even in the last elections, were disenfranchised because where they got married, they were not able to get IDs. They were told: “You must go back and get information about your great grandparents, grandparents and parents”. These are very unnecessary requirements. For young women who have got married, even if it is recent, there must be easier ways. If, for instance, your name is Wanjiru and you have married Otieno, I think all you need to say is, “My name is Rebeca Wanjiru and I am married to Francis Otieno”. The Chief can then say, “Yes, we know this Wanjiru. She is married to Otieno and so issue her with an ID.” You can only deny her the ID if you show that she is a Wanjiru from Uganda. Since we have a computerized system, if Wanjiru has taken an ID in Kisumu or elsewhere, that will be revealed. It does not matter where you take the ID. We need to be giving our people the IDs. Many people are not able to get loans and other resources because of IDs."
