    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in asking this question, I want to say that this matter is now a crisis. Women in Wote have slept on a cold floor for three nights looking for these birth certificates. So, it is a crisis. In the Statement, I would like to find out from the Chairperson:- (a) Whether the national Government is considering making it compulsory for birth certificates to be issued to all children in Kenya in line with the provision of the new Constitution that citizenship is acquired at birth. (b) Whether the national Government is considering issuing birth certificates for free in the same vein as national identity cards. (c) Whether the national Government is considering collaboration with county governments to ensure birth certificates are issued at Ward level. (d) Whether the national Government is considering a further extension to the issuance of birth certificates to all children in Kenya in line with the policy requests above. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
