    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Serut is an old Member of this House. He knows what to do if he wants to make an amendment or oppose the Motion. He should not disrupt me. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion is very clear. It seeks to allow persons who were successfully vetted for purposes of issuing them with identity cards. It is the completion process that delays. Everybody knows. The larger part of our population is young people who we want to involve in what goes on. They are very impatient. That is the only problem. They are not like us who have gone through many things. We must improve on whatever laws there are. In any case, we must be able to legislate on what is in the Constitution in order to make it effective. There is a lot of corruption when there is a lot of delay. That is why this Motion is very important. We should try to beat the red tape in the process to enable those who have applied for identity cards to get them. Every aspect of work and office in Kenya has become corrupt. Even when we came up with the issue of the National Youth Service (NYS), it became a den of corruption. The issue of registration of persons is the same thing. Since we still have the national Government offices in the counties, it is important that we put the roles they are supposed to play together in ensuring that all the information is computerised from the time of birth. It will be much easier. We also have birth certificates which are issued. They can be very useful in obtaining identity cards and voters’ cards."
