    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a matter of fact, it is the responsibility of the citizen of Kenya who applied for registration to collect his identity card when it is ready. As a matter of fact, it is very painful that we spend a lot of time to register Kenyan citizens and keep some of those identity cards for more than a year before their owners come for them. Last year just before the referendum, we did something extra-ordinary. We asked the District Commissioners to ask the District Officers and the chiefs about the owners of some identity cards. In my village, I found a headman carrying them while walking from gate to gate asking the owners to pick them. However, I do not think that, that is our responsibility. Kenyans must be told that it is their right and duty to make sure that they are registered. They should collect their identity cards when they are ready. However, I am willing to co-operate and ask the DCs of the various districts that the hon. Member has mentioned to find ways of working with the chiefs to make sure that the identity cards reach their owners. I urge the hon. Member to inform the public, as I am doing, that it is their responsibility to collect their identity cards and not to wait for them to be taken to their homes."
