"content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The reason why it has taken long to deploy a district registrar of persons in Samburu East District is due to shortage of personnel. A district registrar of persons will be posted as soon as the Public Service Commission recruits or promotes an officer from within the service to that position. (b) The processing of national identity cards at the headquarters is not slow as it is done according to what the service charter stipulates. That is within 38 days for border and ASAL areas. In the recent past, there have been cases of rejected applications due to poor quality applications. However, the following corrective measures have been taken to eliminate future rejections:- (i) Induction of district registrars on quality applications. (ii) The Department has been holding training workshops for district registrars at the provincial level. (iii) All district registrars have been put on performance contracts which include monitoring of both quantity and quality of work. (c) It is not possible to decentralize the processing of identity cards because of the following reasons:- (i) The procedure for processing applications involves various sub-processes which are not possible to replicate due to their nature of operations. The processing system is so complex that it needs to be centralized in order to achieve cost effectiveness, synchronization of data and automated finger prints and identification system processing for authentication, comparison and verification purposes. The Automated Finger Print Identification System (AFIS) consists of citizens, aliens and refugeesâ finger prints. (ii) The process uses costly specialized equipment which requires security and specialized personnel to run."
