"content": "I fully support this Motion that we must decentralize this activity. The activity must be decentralized to the counties. It is the counties where we can gather real information. I believe that even the supposed corruption that we have heard--- We have been told that there are undeserving Kenyans who have acquired Kenyan identity cards just because of money and yet the deserving Kenyans who should get the identity cards do not get them because they are unable give out money. We would like to tell the Ministry that this must be done with the urgency that it deserves; decentralization. We now have 47 counties which are firmly in our Constitution. If this activity is done at the county level, it will be expedited and will be faster. This will enable us to issue more Kenyans with identity cards than we are able to do at the moment. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are approaching 2012. All of us are interested parties, all of us are stakeholders. We want as many of our voters to be registered before 2012. But then again where is the problem? It is in the issuance of identity cards (IDs). We again have that problem. We want one form of identification in this country. We want to urge the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons and other connected Ministries that we should be able to use one form of ID. Once you are registered with an ID, you should be able to use it both for voting and for any other business such as acquiring a job. Once everything is in a database, all we need is one form of identification, so that the only other thing you need is a passport when you want to travel out of the country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to inform you that in my constituency in Sotik, we have an area, one of the divisions, Abosi--- I think every other person in that"
