    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to join my colleagues in thanking the Senator for Wajir County for bringing this statement. I believe this issue is long overdue. The Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations has looked into this matter severally even in the last Parliament and requested the relevant departments to have one database where an individual can access all the documents. One time, a suggestion was made to merge births, national identity and deaths registration under Immigration so that by the press of a button, one could get a national identity card, birth certificate as well as death certificate. However, there was a lot of politics because departments do not want to merge because they want to protect their niche. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenyans really suffer in the processing of identity cards, birth certificates or passports especially for us who come from Northern Kenya. The policy that requires individuals from the border counties to be vetted is long overdue because it is wrong. Foreigners are attaining passports easily in Nairobi without being vetted while true Kenyans from frontier counties are subjected to vetting. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
