I had a case where the national identification card (ID) picture was different from the original applicant’s picture; when we asked the officers what had happened, they had no answer. There is a lot of carelessness at the time of registration.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, could you protect me from the loud consultations? I am making a point, but I am being distracted by my good brother, the Mover of the Motion.

We find at times that the picture on the ID that comes out is different from the original applicant’s picture. The pictures are different. This means that it is either done deliberately or--- Recently I had a meeting with the Registrar of Persons in Kitale and I realized that mistakes are done by the clerks. We ask the Government to be very careful at the time of registration, so that documents match the ID that comes out.

Vetting must be flexible. We have had cases, and I thank the Government for agreeing to remove the condition of having a title deed. Since a guy comes from a village and the father must come with a title deed to show that he is a Kenyan. I think this is frustrating to the youth and the people who want to get IDs. Vetting should be flexible, so that people are not scared of going to get the IDs.

There are cases where an applicant goes to get an ID and he is told to pay some money. This is the case, yet youths do not work. They are asked to pay money; where will they get it from? There are also cases where the youth have to produce baptism cards.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you will agree with me that most of the rural folks do not even have birth certificates. You will find that those conditions are very difficult for youths. If a youth was born in an area or a village and the village headman proves that that guy, or youth, is from that particular village, he should easily get the ID. Youths are scared of going to register for IDs, because they will be asked for payment and be told to bring title deeds of their farms. These conditions should be relaxed.

Lastly, but not least, we will have a referendum and a general election. There is the tendency by people from neighbouring countries--- I have cases of people who crossed the border. The referendum will be there whether we like it or not.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is neither here nor there. Relax bwana . I am making a point. The referendum will be there and the general election will also come. People are brought from the neighbouring countries. The amendment that my good brother was proposing was talking about people in the county. However, we have people from across the borders, that is from Tanzania and Uganda, for example.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think I am such a mature debater. I do not need his information.
