• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will be dangerous to use waiting cards that do not have photographs to vote. The photograph that is appended to each identity card is supposed to assist the officers to know whether or not the holder of the identity card is truly the owner. However, to make sure that nobody is left out, as a Ministry, we have worked harder than any other time before. We have dispatched very many mobile units and we will continue to do so. However, should any Member feel that there is a backlog somewhere, I request that we be informed ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to deny the allegation that I am misleading the House. I know of two cases involving two persons born by the same parent. According to the information they gave to my officers, they were born on the same day yet they were not twins. Those two cases are being handled. They have been told to re-apply because they said that they did not understand what the officers were doing. So, we have given them a second chance to apply. We have cases, which have nothing to do with northern Kenya but rather with ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Question asked is how many people have been registered, and whether we could provide a list for each constituency, showing the number of people who have been issued with the document, which we have done. As to how many people have not received their identity cards since the time they applied, that is not a question. The hon. Member should have brought a different Question or have the case handled at the office. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, I have answered the Question, as asked. I have also provided the list requested. About those applications whose processing has delayed, that could be another case. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)Travellers have to complete the declaration forms because they are provided for in Sections 16 and 17 of the Kenya Citizenship and Immigration Regulations 2012. Filling of declaration forms is also an East African Community procedure under the East African Community Protocol. At the international level, the practice is provided for in the international civil aviation organization, annex 9 on facilitation. (b) I am aware that most of the information required in these forms is also contained in the passport or other travel documents. However, some information that is crucial to other sectors ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the interaction between Mr. Kiema Kilonzo and my Minister was something that perhaps took place outside the office. I was not party to that discussion. view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: You are right, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was building my case. As the hon. Member indicated, I am seasoned in this matter. These answers do not come from Ministers. They come from CEO’s office--- view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 27 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Kilonzo asked the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) why travelers in Kenyan airports have to fill a declaration form before departure and upon arrival; (b) whether he is aware that the information given in these forms is all contained in the passport and other travel documents; and, (c) what measures he will take to ensure that all the operations are computerized. view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Ministry has issued 7,830 new national IDs in Kuresoi Constituency since 2011, while a total of 516 applications have been returned to District Registrars of Persons (DRPs) for correction and for various reasons that are not necessarily of a clerical nature. (b) I am aware that the youth in Kuresoi are experiencing difficulties in getting national IDs, especially in the newly established settlement areas of Kiptororo and Tinet. We have, therefore, established two Registration Offices at Kuresoi and Kerenget to serve them. We complement these centres with mobile registration units. ... view
