    "content": "Sen. Sakaja is here. I request the Committee to assist by providing a framework to ensure that every Kenyan can access birth certificates as a right, and not as a privilege. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a problem with issuance of birth certificate in the Kapsabet and Nandi Hills registries. However, when you pay Kshs1,000 or Kshs2,000, your birth certificate miraculously appears. One of the proposals that we are looking forward to is that village elders and assistant chiefs should be given powers to ensure that birth certificates are provided everywhere in this country. I thank Sen. Khaniri for this Statement and I hope Kenyans will be assisted. The CS told us about NEMIS and Huduma Numbers, where there could still be problems. When Sen. Sakaja summoned the CS, Dr. Fred Matiang’i, he did not turn up to tell us whether the NEMIS will assist in the issuance of birth certificates, but that is what he has been saying. I hope Sen. Sakaja and Members of his Committee will ensure that the issue is put to rest so that Kenyans have birth certificates as a right, and not as a privilege. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
