    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my serious concern is that birth certificates are required by the Ministry of Education for registration of the Kenya Certificate of Primary Examinations (KCPE) and Kenya Certificate of Secondary Examinations (KCSE) candidates, which is going on now. Could the Government, through the Ministry of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons and the Ministry of Education suspend the demand of the requirement of birth certificates until such a time that the Government is able to deploy sufficient personnel to all the districts to ensure that both students and parents do not suffer? For those of us, particularly who come from arid districts, have to travel long distances to these registration centres. You can imagine even a county with three or four districts, you only find that the officers are in one central area. So, parents have to travel over 100 kilometers and stay there for more than a week just to get the birth certificate. Could the Government consider suspending the issuance of birth certificates until such a time that they will be able to get adequate personnel instead of subjecting parents and students to this kind of problems and difficulties?"
