I HEREBY present to the Senate, a Petition from the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee of Vihiga County Assembly, concerning alleged violation by the National Registration Bureau of the rights of residents of Vihiga County to registration and issuance of National identity cards (IDs). In the Petition, the Committee wishes to bring to the attention of the Senate; a) THAT, it is the right of every Kenyan, upon attaining the age of 18 years, to be issued with a national ID. b) THAT, lack of national IDs denies one the full enjoyment of other rights granted under the Constitution. Among them: i. The right to vote and participate in the political process. ii. The right to own property. iii. The right to seek and obtain employment. iv. The right to marry and found a family. c) THAT, the Committee has received numerous complaints from the residents of Vihiga County concerning the challenges and frustration they face in seeking to be formally registered as citizens of Kenya and to be issued thereon, with national IDs. d) THAT, upon inquiring into the complaints, the Committee identified the following as among the challenges facing the National Registration Bureau officers in seeking to register residents of the County: 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."
