• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: In my constituency, we have women who are about 80 years old, but who do not have IDs. I interacted with them in January. If somebody has to inherit anything from her husband, it will be impossible due to lack of an ID. So, we need to be fast. I thank Hon. Chris Wamalwa for bringing this Motion. We need to enact it as soon as possible. I ask the people to register as voters upon getting IDs because voters cards are important and will help us. I believe we in Jubilee are coming back. view

Natural resources are the most important asset that any country can have. Some countries do not have natural resources. In Kenya, we have a lot of natural resources. This Bill says how we are going to provide any agreements which will be made by Parliament for people to get the natural resources.
