    "content": "I oppose the Motion because of the main idea behind it. The main idea is that the author of this Motion wanted decentralisation of registration of IDs and now passports. That even makes it worse. In the morning, I had intended to support my colleague when we met in church, but when you consider the technicality of the Motion, it is not in good faith. If registration and issuance will be done at the county, what is happening in the county may affect the issuance of IDs. Identity Cards and passports are documents that are highly respected internationally. If, for example, a passport is issued by a particular county like Kirinyaga or Lamu County, will it be respected internationally? That is a very big question. It might not be respected. The proposer of the Motion said in the morning that before you employ a house-girl, you need to see her ID. What would happen if that house-girl comes from Kitui or Murang’a counties? Will you respect that ID? Will you respect your watchman’s ID if he comes from Murang’a County? We want to dilute what we already have. We should put emphasis on the speed of issuance of IDs. We should check how they are distributed. Let registration remain central. Otherwise, we continue to divide our country. Chris Wamalwa, I oppose your Motion although I had earlier pledged to support it. I do not see its content. I oppose because Kenya is, to some extent, divided along county lines."
