It is important to note that very few children go without birth certificates. All national examinations at primary and secondary school levels require that a pupil or student is entered in NEMIS. The bio data of candidates cannot be entered in NEMIS without a birth certificate. Therefore, there is need to have the information centralized in such a manner that it can easily be storable and retrievable for those who may need it. That is why this Motion comes at the right time, and I believe that all of us should support it.

I would also like to indicate that, if we moved from a Motion to a Bill which will be passed in this House and assented by His Excellency the President, then we can make this issue very easy.

institution is not supported effectively. If we have no board how do you perform? Now we are going to disengage and form very many other boards. How many boards shall we form?

Therefore, as a nation, we should focus on implementing these laws so that we can have a framework that can be followed for the purpose of yielding results from the work that we do. That is not the only law that has not been ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join my colleagues to point out two issues. First, the issue of locking and unlocking is all over the country. It is even worse in my place. The unlocking process does not end and it takes the whole day to remove a lock. We are losing our youth to alcohol and unfortunately some of them are very educated.

I want to make a request that the issue of teachers in private schools be looked into. If they are given half or quarter salary, I am sure that they will survive during this period. They are really suffering.
