    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Local farmers are selling their cows, sheep and maize. But if they do not have ID cards, they cannot transact those kinds of businesses. So, an ID card is so important that having the processing centre only in Nairobi has really inconvenienced so many Kenyans. They cannot transact their daily businesses. We want the central processing unit for ID cards to be taken to the constituency level so that it becomes easier for people to get ID cards. There are so many services that require an ID card, like access to Uwezo Fund. There is a system of table banking which has come to our constituencies and there are so many women in groups. But when they want to open bank accounts, they are required to have ID cards. Getting an ID card takes too long as the process has to come all the way to Nairobi. An ID card is a very important document. This is a very important Motion. If we pass this Motion and it is implemented, it is going to help so many Kenyans, including the youth, women and the old, who might have misplaced their ID cards. With those many remarks, I ask Members to support this Motion so that our people can get ID cards easily at the grassroots level and access important services. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
