    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also rise to support the Motion. This is a straightforward Motion which seeks to ensure that those who have been issued with waiting cards are given an opportunity to register as voters. The issue of identity card in this country has become a problem. The process is very tedious. Hon. Members will remember that the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government was the other day ranked number one in corruption; the reason being issuance of identity cards. Any youth who wants an identity card is made to part with something. The Government must be very serious because the time those identity cards take in Nairobi and in the sub-county offices is too much. We must give the Ministry money so that identity cards can be issued in our sub-counties. That is how we can solve this problem, but not the other way round. It is the right of every Kenyan to be issued with an identity card. The Ministry should not give us the excuse of taking applications to Nairobi for the delays. With new technology, we can issue identity cards in our sub-counties. That is the only way we can solve this problem. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, identity cards are very important. At the age of 18, one would like to open a bank account, register a company, and acquire a title deed for his or her land, among other things. However, because of lack of an identity card, one cannot do any of those things."
