In his answer, the Minister has given the dates and the number of cards issued and given me a long list. Why is he shy about giving the names of the people who have been issued with the identity cards?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, a lot of answers to this Question are obviously unsatisfactory, including the issue of the border district, which we will pursue. We are not letting it go. We will pursue it at a later stage.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of identity cards is a very critical matter. Now that we are coming to elections we might start saying, at this rate of registration, there might not be any elections because somebody is trying to disfranchise some of our citizens or constituents. It is just a warning to the Minister because that time it will be very hot for him, so that we get action in good time. Areas like where the Chair, myself and the rest of the Members who are on their feet come from, are vast districts.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do not have a vehicle in Garbatulla to do this mobile registration the Minister is talking about. They come once in a year with very few forms and at that time we, pastoralists, are in every corner. Therefore, we end up not getting registered. At every centre we go, we find a lot of grown-ups who are not registered.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, when will the Minister provide a vehicle to Garbatulla, so that we will be able to carry out the mobile registration he has promised?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a question of policy, particularly of this e-government. An e-government envisages this kind of a situation. A place can catch fire, but because you are IT compliant, a creditor can always be traced elsewhere. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that this is the situation, and that this debtor can be traced elsewhere? This is possible in an e-government.

asked the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) how many persons have applied for national identity cards in Garba-Tulla District since 2007; (b) whether he could state how many applicants have so far been issued with national identity cards in the district, indicating their respective dates of issue; and, (c) what measures he is taking to speed up issuance of the document in the district.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am a bit surprised. While thanking the Minister for the answer, from the list he has tabled, the district is shown as Isiolo and from the answer, the district is Garba-Tulla. So, I am not sure how to respond.

Also, in 2007, the applicants were 1,780 but in part âbâ of the answer, those issued with the identity cards were 1,834, which means they were more than the applicants. I doubt whether due care has been exercised in giving this answer and whether the Minister can clarify why there is a mix up.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since he has been a friend of mine for a long time, I will allow him that room.
