Khaniri and Vihiga County Assembly for raising this very important petition. There is a very serious problem with the registration of persons. The petition by Vihiga County Assembly is a reflection of the level of dissatisfaction by the citizens in a number of counties especially those neighbouring Vihiga County. The effects of the failure to issue identity cards to citizens denies them their rights as clearly stated in the petition; the right to own property, seek employment, vote and so on and so forth. 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."}
