It is also important to know the critical role played by issuing people with ID cards in the control of crime. Today, there are so many illegal and unlicensed firearms in the hands of many people who have no ID cards. It becomes a challenge even to the investigating authorities who will need to do forensic investigations in order to obtain details and finger-prints of culprits. In places like Nairobi where there are so many strangers, it is important that each person has an ID card so that we are able to attribute crime to specific people.

Allow me to thank the PS, Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government Dr. Karanja Kibicho, who has taken it upon himself to help the young people in slums and garbage dumps in Dandora to register as voters. It is my appeal that, as we concern ourselves in decentralizing registration, we should give specific emphasis to slums. I have in mind places like Marurui, Githurai, Soweto and Njathaini in my constituency. In those slums, there are young boys and girls who are orphans and are of age. If the registration officials are going to insist on them producing their ...

There are many HIV/AIDS orphans in the slum villages of Mukuru-Kayaba and Kibera. If you ask them to bring a relative, parent, sister or brother, they will not.

Slums are characterized by relative deprivation. The young people are feeling that this Government is insensitive to their welfare. So, it is important that we register all those young people in ...

In the recent registration of voters, there were skirmishes in Kariobangi involving followers of different parties. They were competing over where a polling station or voter’s registration centre should be. I want to appeal to all politicians in Nairobi to avoid skirmishes. They are setting the communities against each other and, at the same time, trying to secure votes in 2017. We have not forgotten the skirmishes that we had in Kenya in 2007/2008. We appeal to politicians to stop being warlords and inciting communities. We want all communities to register as voters peacefully. We regret those incidences that happened ...

I had invited my good friends from Mzalendo Kenya to come and see that Waihenya Ndirangu, the son of Wanjiru, has a mouth to speak. It is important that some of those institutions do not belittle the work that Members of Parliament do. I am a very active member of the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. We sit three days every week to go through Bills and Motions, and develop policies and procedures that are finally put into law and brought into this House. In the recent past, I have personally put my signature in the Committee’s Report ...
