• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is cognisance of traditional marriages. It is the same and unless the rules that are laid under, it is certified that there was a marriage, then we have no problem in that. However, the issue of giving directives for those marriages that, maybe, have not been registered or are not in cognisance with the law, will not arise. view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the law is very clear. For those women who are married from areas where we have tribes that are bordering and are found in neighbouring countries, that is when they have to go back to ascertain whether that person is, for instance, a Digo from Tanga or Kwale. view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very clear that in the reform agenda of this Government, the affirmative action aspect of this is being upheld. Besides that, there is no discrimination whatsoever. Unless certain statutes are changed, our Ministry is tied. view
• 24 May 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that. What I said, and I quoted the law, was very clear. If our officer is dissatisfied with the contents of that document, that is when they will need additional information. One of the requirements is that your spouse appears in person. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the correct number of people who applied for identity cards since April, 2006 in Khwisero is 4,733 and not 3,000. Out of this a total of 2,804 identity cards have been processed and issued to the owners. (b) A total of 2,804 identity cards were processed and issued to the owners by 30th March, 2007. The processing of the remaining 1,929 applications is ongoing and the identity cards will be ready before the end of June, 2007. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, according to our records we have dispatched these identity cards. Now, it is incumbent upon the divisional or district registration officer to further dispatch them to the centres where the identity cards were applied for. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. They will be 1,900 plus identity cards. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are saying that out of the 4,733 identity cards, 2,804 of them are ready. They must have been dispatched to either the district registration office or the division registration office. The balance of 1,929 are the ones that are in process and they will be ready for dispatch by June, 2007. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that the ones that are already processed have been dispatched. The problem is further dispatch made from the district registration centre to the divisional levels where we have some other registration officers. Despite that, we have a practical problem of those people in the interior villages coming to the divisional centres to collect them. We have advised that the various chiefs and sub-chiefs should be able to take the list of the identity cards that have been sent to the divisional level to be stuck in the offices of the chiefs or sub-chiefs ... view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have stepped up efforts and the hon. Members will appreciate that the Ministry is doing a lot. However, in my understanding, listening to the Chairman of the Electoral Commission of Kenya, there is an ongoing voter registration exercise. I believe that there will be another one not later than June this year. view
