Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, aware that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is currently conducting countrywide mass voter registration, further aware that this activity forms an integral component of democracy and specifically the exercise of universal suffrage, appreciating the fact that as elected national leaders, Members of Parliament are key stakeholders in the process, concerned that unlike in the previous dispensation where the Executive as part of the House, would regularly apprise the House on progress of such activities, concerned that Parliament is oblivious of the current progress, further concerned of the report of low turnout in the current enlisting, noting the need for deployment of persuasive mechanisms to encourage voter registration and participation in elections of all identity card holders in the country, further noting that this would go a long way in furtherance of Article 38 of the Constitution, this House instructs the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs to urgently formulate and propose persuasive and compelling mechanisms for consideration by Parliament to motivate and encourage all unregistered citizens to register."
