    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member need to understand that this is not a piece of paper. He will have to understand that the science behind producing the national identity card or ID, is very complex. In fact, even the countries he is talking about do not know about it. Kenya is actually a giant in the production of IDs. It is a complex Information Technology (IT). The IT people will tell you what goes behind it. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not about conflict of any interest. We have advertised for the production of the third generation identity cards. If you have a company that is interested--- If there is a Kenyan company or if there is a group of companies coming together as a consortium who are interested, they can come and pick those papers. We will assess them. If they have the capacity, we will give them. When that comes to fruition, we will take some time because procurement takes its time. In the meantime, what I will do to make sure that our people do not take me to court because I am sure you will be telling them to take me to court tomorrow, is that we will continue with registering every able bodied Kenyan. The Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance has committed to me that he will give me enough money to do mobile registration in every village. When it comes to taking votes, which you fear, if we do not have the materials by that time, we will issue a printout from our database."
