"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, a year is not too long because budgets only happen once a year. If it does not happen in this yearâs Budget, then we have to wait until it happens in another budget. Right now, we have made our proposals and we hope that they will be considered positively. Let me also mention something that we have tried to do to ease the pressure on hon. Members in each area. We are trying to appoint head teachers both in secondary and primary schools, as agents of the Registrar of Births so that the teachers can register the students. We will give them the forms to enable them register the students. The parents can sign and the chief can also sign. We ourselves pick the forms and issue the birth certificates. It will reduce the time. It will, of course, increase the amount of money that the officer will spend in moving between schools and the headquarters where he is supposed to take the forms. So, we need some substantial support so that the teachers can do this job. We have asked the Minister for Education to pass this information the head teachers because I cannot communicate with the head teachers directly. So, I hope that the Permanent Secretary for Education who is about to run for President can help me in this matter, so that we register all the children in Kenya."
