    "content": "headquarters is about 283 kilometres from Sericho. Hawaye is about 290 kilometres. That is the furthest point in my constituency. It will be a huge task for one to travel over rough roads where there are no public vehicles to go to district headquarters to ask for birth certificates. You will need a minimum of seven days to seek the same. You can appreciate the cost one will incur in travelling and staying at the county headquarters just to get one birth certificate. So, to avoid that, people do not register births. It is high time that the Government, through this request by our able lady, sees the need to establish centres at each constituency headquarters. Further to this, we actually urge the Government to not only put offices in each constituency but actually even have mobile stations in pastoralist areas because herders will move where there is pasture. Where there is pasture there is no office. So, it is necessary that we have mobile stations because during elections we have mobile stations. Why do we not have mobile birth registration centres where people can be registered? My suggestion is we should be willing and ready to use our NG-CDF funds, if it is possible for these centres to be registered so that our children can get birth certificates and then they can secure identification cards and other necessary documents. With these few remarks, I beg to support."
