    "content": "Hon. Members, as you are aware, at the commencement of the 12th Parliament, all Members went through a registration process in the biometric system for purposes of recording Chamber attendance. This was in keeping with the provisions of Article 103(b) of the Constitution whose implementation requires an accurate record of Chamber attendance to be maintained. This system is now replaced with a new, more efficient and modern biometric system. Therefore, Members are required to register afresh. Upon registration, Members will be issued with a new Chamber log card to be used to make interventions to speak, vote in divisions, and also raise points of order. The Clerk of the National Assembly has already commenced the registration process of Members. It is expected that the exercise will continue until the end of the first part of the current Second Session; that is, the end of the long recess, which will be on Monday, 4th June 2018. In the meantime, a window has been provided to enable Members to use either of the two systems that is, the current system and the new system which will be running concurrently. In addition, Members will also be in a position to use manual register to record their Chamber attendance. However, at the end of the registration exercise, the use of the old system as well as the manual register will cease. Hon. Members, in the past, Members have been required to pay Kshs2,000 for the replacement of lost Chamber log cards. However, for the new cards, Members will now be required to pay Kshs5,000 for replacement of such cards through a request in writing to the Clerk of the National Assembly. Hon. Members, the registration exercise is being conducted at the entrance of the Chamber during working hours when the House is not sitting. It will be conducted until the close of business on Monday, 4th June 2018. I thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
