    "content": ".: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights on the reported registration of voters using National Youth Service (NYS) kits. In the statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) Clarify if the Government is aware that on the night of 13th February, 2017, people were registered as voters at the Administration Camp in Embakasi West Constituency, Super loaf Primary School in Mowlem Ward and Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA), Karura in Runda using registration and identification kits belonging to the NYS instead of the recommended Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Biometric Voter Registration (BVR) Kits acquired for that purpose. (2) Explain why the exercise was undertaken by NYS recruits and not IEBC personnel who were the rightful personnel for that exercise. (3) Clarify where registration and identification kits belonging to the NYS were used instead of the recommended IEBC BVR kits acquired for that purpose. (4) Explain if the Government has taken any measures to withdraw the NYS kits and to publicise and deregister any voters who may have been registered using the said kits. (5) Assure the Senate that such malpractices will not recur in future and care will be taken to ensure the NYS kits are not used for purposes other than those for which they were intended."
