• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The timelines for processing identity cards is spelt out in our service charter. In Nairobi area, it takes 17 days and other areas 26 days. In border and ASAL areas, it takes 38 days. However, of late the Ministry has been experiencing challenges to meet these deadlines due to lack of production materials which we have since corrected. So, the delays will not be experienced any longer. (b) I was given a list of 12 serial numbers of applicants. On the following serial numbers, I think my brother has the list so ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Of these serial numbers, six have already been issued and delivered to the applicants. So, the other six have not been delivered for different reasons. One of them applied at the age of 45 years. When applying he said that he had first registered and that this was just a replacement of first registration. So, when it is a replacement we do not ask you too many questions. However, when we checked the records we found that he had not registered. He is called Mr. Shuriye Adan Godana. So, for that reason, we asked him to ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: This is the answer first. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, actually, the first applicant said that he was replacing his identity card. The second one, Mr. Sugow, also said the same. However, when we checked our data base, we did not find any evidence that he had registered before. So, we asked him to apply afresh. On the third one, Zainab Omar Abdi who registered at the age of 32 years, it was returned only because of poor quality of fingerprints and we asked her to do another application where fingerprints would be taken properly. In fact, these problems will not be there soon because now we ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I understand his question. His question is that we have not put the date on which the application was made which would be a little earlier than the date it was received at the headquarters. I am sorry about that. I think it is very approximate to the date it was received. If you can see some were received in 2010; in fact, most of them. One was in 2009. I am sorry about that. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, he shared with me about the customer service information that we relay through SMS. The information he got from the automatic answer is that we are still going on with registration or the process is still ongoing. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I made a commitment to the Member and told him that if our SMS is not updated, then I must take it very seriously with my officers. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the officers that he called must have looked at the information that is on the screen. If that information has not been updated, then whoever--- view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will respond to your challenge and say that on these six matters where there is some misunderstanding on the information, I will take it up with my brother. I will give him exactly 14 days and if we will not have sorted it out, then he can come back and raise the issue. view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with the last question. We are trying to accelerate this. Right now, we are doing mobile registration and I am sure every Member of Parliament knows this. We are trying hard. In fact, there is sufficient funding for it and I am pleased that the Treasury has supported us. The production capacity which was very low and we almost closed for a whole year has resumed. We are producing almost 60,000 identity cards per day. That is proceeding well and I do not think we will have backlogs by January next year. So, the ... view
