    "content": "At times there are technical problems with fingerprints and taking them back to the constituency or sub-county takes ages. It is important for us to have decentralised services. After all, there is always a backlog in Nairobi. What happens here is only the processing. The vetting and verification is done at the sub-county level. That is where security committees are located. It is prudent for us to make sure that this service is decentralised. It is a basic right and it is a right of every Kenyan to get an ID. It is only after you get an ID that you will get services and also enjoy your right as a Kenyan to vote. Unfortunately, most Kenyans from far flung areas are not able to access these services. These are especially pastoralist communities that are disadvantaged. We need mobile registration which is not happening. This service is centralised and people who are nomadic are not able to get IDs. It appears like people in central region and other areas get these services. Is this a service for some Kenyans or is it a service for all Kenyans who have the right by birth and by any other form? I support this Motion."
