    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this petition. I would like to support the petition which has been brought by a son of the wonderful and illustrious people of Kisii County and who is a resident of Kakamega County, David Gesicho. I support this petition because in the voting process, getting registration in this country is vague, haphazard and often not clear. Therefore, there is clearly a need for a legal framework. We have selective issuance of identification cards in this country. Some regions are highly favoured more than others. That is why you find that in some regions, there are so many identification cards lying in the Deputy County Commissioners’ offices. However, in some regions like Kisii County where I come from, you will find that there are no identification cards there at all. Double registration should come to an end. For example, why should we have voter registration for a voting card and also to get an identification card? I support the proposal by Sen. Wako that when students are registering for their Form Four exams, they should also be issued with identification cards. I am thinking that, at that time, we can also have people registered as voters. With those few remarks, I support the petition."
