    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to give my accolades to the patriotic citizens from Kakamega who made this petition. I want to join my colleagues in saying that this is a very timely, touchy and thorny issue. Personally, I have sought a statement in this House on the same. Sen. Obure and Sen. M. Kajwang have sought statements on a matter that relates to the same issue. This is just to show how important this matter is. I think the way the petitioner has brought it would be the solution. I will personally withdraw the statement because coming up with a Bill and legislation will be the true solution to this particular problem. The petitioner states the reason for lack of registration to be apathy and barriers that are in the system of registering people. Many Members who have spoken have alluded to this. I also want to add that the other biggest reason our people are not registering as voters is because they do not have identification cards. We have a problem with issuance of identification cards. As I have said, it is done in a very discriminatory manner. Some The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
