Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me the opportunity. I want to join you to welcome the two counties that are visiting us this afternoon; Vihiga and Kilifi counties. I am so happy that we are able to get counties releasing their staff and Members of the County Assembly to come and learn how things are done in this House.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for the opportunity to add my voice to this important Bill. I thank the Mover of the Bill because this is a matter that touches on the life of Kenyans. The issue of certificates is like a thorn in the flesh of Kenyans who do not have a voice for themselves. Sometimes I flash back and ask myself many questions. When the Government makes directives without any follow up, Kenyans feel it was mere talk and they cannot follow the instructions. The directives from the Government have also affected the issue of waiving taxes or ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the petitioner. I also add my voice on behalf of persons with disability. Most persons with disability do not have ID cards simply because they are not given an opportunity and the bureaucracy does not allow them. I propose that the Committee should also work on plans on how to allow door to door voter registration for persons with disability to allow Kenyans with disabilities have this right of birth and participate in other issues where an ID card is required. There is also the issue where women are forced to get their parents’ ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there was loud consultation. I was registering my disappointment in saying that the category of people with disabilities, women and youth are the ones losing on what the Constitution has provided for them. Two weeks adding to two months is too long. I want to register my disappointment because I am not comfortable with the way this Statement--- I want to agree that even if we wait for so long, the manner in which these answers are given to Statements sought, is not---
