    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I thank the Chair of the Committee for the response. Unfortunately, we come from the same disadvantaged region. The issue of National Identity Cards (IDs) is a national concern. The two things that you get to hear constantly as feedback from the headquarters is that particular applicants go through some vetting process when the ID is being processed. The earliest they can get their IDs is from six to nine months. I want the Chairman to tell us whether the importance of this Statement was decentralization of issuance of IDs. If they cannot decentralize the process in bits, how fast can we reduce the other bottlenecks because there is too much delay and people are getting frustrated, students are missing university placement and people are not being recruited? Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want the Chair to tell us what the Ministry will do to reduce the waiting period, if they cannot decentralize it to one or two months. It is a nightmare if we cannot solve the decentralization bit which they have kept on telling us. Could the Chairman tell us what the Government will do to reduce the waiting period?"
