    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. Initially, I had interrupted debate because I wanted clarification from Hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi because we are only talking of the IDs in terms of voting but I thought it was better if he said that waiting cards should also be used in other offices. We may only think of voting but people are suffering out there because of lack of IDs. We should declare that waiting cards should be used in all offices. We have been having problems with IDs especially in my constituency which is cosmopolitan. Many people are being sent to their homes to get them. For example, my son who is 20 years and was born on the same day with Abdi, is given an ID while Abdi is sent to his home to get it. I am just giving an example. People should be given IDs where they stay. Sometimes it is not possible to go and look for your uncle, grandmother or any other relative. We blame chiefs but even those who are applying for IDs are corrupt. You go to a chief’s office expecting him to ask for something, and you give out money. We should not only use waiting cards to register as voters but also in other offices. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
