    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, like my colleagues, I have further clarifications to seek. Firstly, we are talking about ID cards; this is mandatory for every Kenyan who has attained the age of 18 years and above. In my county, there are over 100,000 people without ID cards. To make it worse, there was a problem of cattle rustling between Turkana and West Pokot counties for a long time. So, people did not even have a chance to acquire ID cards. There were also problems between the people of Turkana and Baringo, West Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet and Turkana and Samburu. So, we have a staggering number of people which has---. You saw it on television the other day. Very senior citizens are going through circumcision in the area for the first time because there is peace. So, if they forfeited that activity, where do you think they can get ID cards? Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to know how, when and the deliberate steps the Government will put in areas where we have had this problem for a long time. I asked the concerned officers and they said that they do not even have tyres for their vehicles. Could the Chairman confirm the steps they will take to ensure that officers who are on the ground are beefed up and given necessary facilities? Lastly, every year, we hear of every youth having a waiting card. Is there a way a waiting card can be used especially during registration of voters? It has become chaotic. We have very many people roaming around with waiting cards. I know it is not only my county that is affected but it is a problem affecting other counties as well. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
