    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for allowing me to add my voice to this debate. This is a very important Motion. However, I agree with my colleagues who have mentioned that it has come a bit too late. We need to look at what the real problem is. Why are people not coming out in their large numbers to register? In my county, being a county at the border, we have a huge number of people who are unable to register because they do not have IDs. I mean a big number! We have married from the Diaspora and vice versa . We have elderly ladies who are grandmothers with 10 or 12 children. They cannot exercise their rights as Kenyans to vote because they do not have IDs and they cannot be given IDs. When they go to register to get IDs, their children are asked to bring their fathers’ IDs, their mothers’ IDs, a letter from the Luguru and what have you. You find that some of their children do not have ID cards. I The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
