    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they say that facts are very stubborn animals. Almost 65 per cent of Kenyans are eligible to vote. This translates to roughly 26 million yet registered voters are 14 million. That means that the balance does not have identity cards. They have been discriminated. As Sen. Karaba said, when someone is born, he is issued with a birth certificate. When he dies, his next of kin are given his death certificate. When they leave school, they receive a school certificate. When they get married, they receive a marriage certificate. However, when they are 18 years of age, they are unable to get an identity card. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in an effort to determine what the problem is in Makueni County, I visited the national registration office. I urge the Committee to go to the national registration offices. I am sure they will discover that Parliament has allocated the National Registration Bureau a quarter of the budget they require for registration of Kenyans. That is where the problem lies."
