• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Parliament was generous enough to give us money to buy some 20 vehicles. We tried to be as rational as possible with only 20 vehicles. We decided that each county would have a working vehicle. The vehicle is meant for one county but I know that the area is so large. Therefore, it may be difficult to do this exercise without a vehicle. Probably, we will find a county with more than one vehicle and withdraw a vehicle temporarily to help in mobile registration. view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been in the process of recruiting clerical officers and subordinate staff, but the process is not complete. Even when it is complete, they will not be quite sufficient. We are recruiting the number that was allowed by Treasury although we needed double the number we are recruiting. So, we will do with that we have. We do not have funds for temporary clerical officers. We put in a suggestion to the Cabinet to allow us some additional Kshs400 million to enable us buy a few more vehicles, and employ temporary staff who could help us ... view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have given this assurance several times and I can give it again. We will try to register as many youths as will come out to be registered by December. Even in December, some will be turning 18 years and so we will continue with the programme. In this programme, we will want to register as many youths as possible. In fact, in Arid and Semi-Arid Areas (ASALs) is where we put a little more money for the Registrars to move around because we know the distances to be covered. We have also given them newer vehicles ... view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not answer for the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security; he will answer for himself. The vehicle was given to the district. I said that we made sure that no county got more than one new vehicle. Although the vehicle was given to his district, it can also be used by his neighbours. Be generous enough--- view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I was almost there when I said that the vehicle was sent to the district but may be used by the region if and when necessity arises. Other districts also have vehicles. This is just an additional facility to help you. For Mr. Mututho, may I say, first of all, that I am not casual when I say that a Kenyan has been taken and not only one but our Registrar and DO were kidnapped. They have not been seen by their family members or by our security forces. There is very little to say ... view
• 15 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will look for him if you could give us five minutes and he will come. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of any Kenyan youth aged 18 years and above who is unable to register to be issued with the national identity card because he or she is required to pay Kshs100. The initial registration of all applicants has been free and is still free since 2006. (b) I am not aware that people who lost their identification cards are required to pay Kshs400 for replacement. (c) The Ministry has a clear policy regarding the amount of fees levied for services offered by the National Registration Bureau. The fees ... view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am comfortable where I am and I can be very emphatic. I will continue. For duplicate identity cards, namely lost second generation identity cards, the fees levied used to be Kshs300 until 3rd August, 2012, when we waived it. I had also directed earlier this year that fees charged on replacement of first generation identity cards, namely the large ones, to second generation identity cards was similarly waived. So, as a matter of fact, to obtain any services of registration, whether you are applying afresh, replacing a lost identity card or replacing an old first generation ... view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will not undertake to write such a circular because then I will almost be saying that they are actually doing an illegality. These people should be reported to the police, arrested and then we can deal with them there. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to reply to Dr. Otichillo who had asked me to write a circular to the effect that there will be no charge for any of these services, there is a circular to the effect that Kshs300 is now not chargeable for replacement. There was a legal notice earlier on in 2006 that removed the fees charged on first registration. However, there was no such charge of Kshs100 for first registration. Consequently, this is an illegality. I want to use this platform that Mr. Speaker has given me to say that anybody charging any fees now for purposes ... view
