    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. Most of the things have already been said by my colleagues. I urge the IEBC to provide mobile BVR kits to pastoralists who are now out there searching for water and pasture during this dry spell. I would also want to say that the distances to registration centres in some areas are quite very long. In many instances, the communities keep on asking for transport, especially motorbikes, for them to access registration centres. It is very difficult, especially for women who are expectant, because they cannot ride on motorbikes. It is very difficult for them to get to registration centres. Lastly, I would like to say that issuance of national IDs to women is quite difficult. Quite a number of them have waited for their national IDs for between five and seven years. I was out in the field. I have realized that quite a number of women cannot even get their national IDs because of the long procedure involved in the process. Many of them have to go to the chiefs, go for vetting, keep on checking and yet, they live in very far places. It should be made possible for women and people in ASAL areas to be registered as voters. I also want to thank the Government for providing food and water by trucks, especially to people in ASAL areas. This has really assisted in terms of registering the communities because where there is a watering point and food that is provided through the Ministry of Devolution and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
