    "content": "Thank you, Hon.Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to comment on this important Motion that has been brought here by Hon. Martha Wangari. Hon. Martha Wangari is a woman. You will bear me witness that if you visit any registration center today, you will find women there with their children to have them registered. So, from that angle, she has brought this Motion as a mother and woman. She is very caring for her to think about the challenges our women and mothers face at the constituency level. Registration of persons is a matter of national security. Today, we know that civil registration has not been devolved to the counties. It is still a matter that is with the national Government. With that in mind, this is a matter that we as Members of Parliament can take forward through our National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) and put up centres in our own constituencies. However, for this matter to be taken seriously, I wish Hon. Martha Wangari can reconsider… I know she has brought a Motion but she needs to go back and check if there is a Bill or Act that touches on the issue of civil registration. Then, we can amend it to include this and make it mandatory for civil registration centres to be devolved to the constituency level."
