    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Motion. I do so because last time, we were supposed to break for more than two or three months but we came back because we had a very important agenda. I want to thank hon. Members and congratulate them for rising to the occasion. At least, we have now jumpstarted the process of making sure that we shall have a new Constitution. Therefore, we must cool the temperatures. Hon. Members will now have time to go and listen to their people or constituents. There are some very important issues that must be addressed. For example, today morning, there was a Question by Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona with regard to ID cards but that is not even more pressing. If you look at the distances our people travel every day to go and look for birth certificates, then hon. Members must speak with one voice. We must ensure that we facilitate the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons so that, at least, the district commissioner will go and pick the birth certificates and take them to the chiefs and sub- chiefs so that our people can go and pick those certificates from the chiefs and sub-chiefs. You can imagine that our people are still moving to the old district headquarters to get birth certificates. They spend the whole day. They use a lot of money for transport and lunch while the Government can completely decentralize the issuance of birth certificates. It has enough officers to do that."
