    "content": "Identity cards can be issued at the school level, as Form Four students leave school. That would reduce the number of applicants who have not acquired identity cards (IDs). The other impediment is that there are people with no IDs especially newly married women. Whenever they go to the registration officers, especially in my area, they are requested to avail a marriage affidavit, which is sometimes very difficult to access. As you are all aware, where I come from, to pronounce the word “affidavit” is very difficult. They pronounce it as “David”. So, it becomes very difficult for them to access it. There is delay in issuance of IDs. There are many IDs lying in chiefs’ offices and you wonder why, since they know these people, they cannot liaise with village headmen and managers to look for the owners. It should be compulsory for every Kenyan to have an ID. The question of waiting until somebody is over 30 years should not be there. We are living in a digital era and we should have IDs instantly. It is sad to learn that in as much as we are in the digital era, fingerprints are still being taken using bars and ink while the modern way should be biometric."
