There has been the Transitional Authority, which was set up by an Act of Parliament.

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, some of these conditions are necessitated by the mere facts that Cherangany was between the larger Trans Nzoia which is a border district.

• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as a Ministry, we are doing our best to make sure that if possible all the youth are registered before the election time.

These are measures to enhance registration of our youth and other Kenyans to ensure that they get identification cards. view
