• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: There was a Motion that was passed by the Senate. The Motion said that all national Government functions must be decentralized. Right now, we are told that public universities, which are under the national Government, should be in every county. Therefore, it goes without saying that registration of persons must be decentralised to the county level. I know that Hon. Washiali is working on a Bill. I am happy that today, Hon. Members’ contributions to this debate will enrich the Bill that is being prepared by Hon. Washiali. The youth in my constituency have been waiting for identity cards that ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Sometimes back, identity cards were being done and issued at the lowest administrative level possible. I know that many people used to get their identity cards there. Centralizing and bringing this service back to Nairobi is negating the principle of devolution. That is why I am requesting this august House to look into this matter seriously and pass this Motion, so that the youth can access identity cards as soon as possible. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I am reminded of my old days when I used to sing for Hon. Members who used to tell us that we were the leaders of tomorrow. This is the time that youths need to go into leadership. Article 38 talks about the right to contest for any political seat. You can only contest for a political seat if you have an identity card. Yet, it is becoming difficult for people to get it. We need the young leadership to come into place. That can only happen if we make it easier for young people in the villages to acquire ... view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is nothing much to talk about. This is a straightforward Motion. I request Hon. Members of this House to pass this Motion with speed, so that the youth can get identity cards and register as voters. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to move and humbly request the “king” of Marakwet, Hon. Kagongo Bowen, to second the Motion. I view

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am the Mover of the Motion. I want to tell Hon. Manje that there is a difference between decentralisation and devolution. They do not mean the same thing. The Member is mistaken. That is why the Motion talks about decentralisation. In the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution, matters of registration of IDs fall under national Government function. We are decentralising the function and not devolving it. view
• 1 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to second this Procedural Motion. It is important because we have some Bills with constitutional timelines. We extended the period for consideration last year and so I do not think we have any other provision for extension. We must create time so that we debate these Bills and pass them. As my colleague had indicated, there are other Bills which concern counties. We know that it is a requirement that such Bills have to go to the Senate. In case of mediation, we need to have sufficient time. As we approach the general elections, ... view
