• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thought this was a unique problem to my people in Vihiga and the Western Region at large. However, I am just learning that it seems to be a countrywide problem affecting even areas that we thought were enjoying better services in terms of issuance of ID cards. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: The importance of an ID card in this country cannot be understated. We all know that you cannot survive as an adult in this country without it. Everywhere you go, you are asked for your identification card. If you want to register as a voter or if you are looking for employment, you must have an identification card. Therefore, it is a very important document that the Government must take seriously in streamlining the process of issuance of the same to the people of this country. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: I do not understand why our youth should go through what they go through just to get ID cards in order to be identified as Kenyans. Sen. Wamatangi stole this from me because I have been wondering. When a child is born and it is on record, first, they must be issued with a birth certificate. It is at that point that I believe if we want to go digital, once you are issued with your birth certificate, then you must have your PIN, so that when it comes to issues like ID card, it becomes automatic. The Government should ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: The committee that will look at this matter should engage the Government with a view of trying to have them embrace the idea that when one is born, they are issued with a birth certificate and get their PIN, so that other things follow and it is just a sequence. When you become an adult, you should get your ID card without even having to apply for it. You just need to confirm that you are still alive. Although they have made it free to get an ID card, still our youth go through hell to get this vital document. ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we support this Statement very strongly. Let the process be streamlined, so that our youth get ID cards and participate in the forthcoming elections. I urge those from Vihiga County that their vote is important. Those who have not collected their ID cards and maybe they are lying at the chief’s office should go and collect. They should also register in large numbers. We want to show people that Vihiga has the numbers that we need in politically. view

• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity and put it on record that I had the privilege of presenting that Petition to this House sometimes back in August, 2019. The True North Society led by a one, Maj. (Rtd.) Lucy Mukuria, approached me. I thank the Chairman and the Committee for the good work they have done on this Petition. Although it has taken long because as we all know our Standing Orders provide that a petition must be dispensed off within 60 calendar days. This has taken close to two years from August, 2019 to now is about ... view

• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: I have looked through the Report. They have addressed all the prayers that were pleaded by the Petitioners. They wanted Parliament Veteran Law, which will offer protection and care to military veterans who have sacrificed and served our motherland diligently. On the Report of the Committee there is a Bill, which I am reliably informed is at the concurrence stage waiting for you, Mr. Speaker and the Speaker of the National Assembly to agree on so that we can proceed with it. The Committee has looked into all the prayers that had been pleaded. The Committee must also involve these ... view
