• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: What I appreciated about this Question is that it was very particular but I am yet to get from the hon. Member what is so particular about Hurara Village. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The reports I have indicate that the District Registrar of Persons of Tana Delta visited the locations, especially the Wachu Oda Location on 26th and 27th January 2011, again on 31st January 2011, on 1st February 2011 and on 14th and 15th March, 2011. We shall be conducting mobile registration exercises very soon all over the country when funds are made available to us and Hurara Village will benefit alongside other villages in the country. view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, that must be a very large village with 2,500 unregistered adults. He has brought that to our attention. We have been going to the location and assuming that when they go there, all the villages benefit but now that he says that our officers have not visited the area, we shall put emphasis. When next they go to Wachu Oda Location, they will go to Hurara Village. I do not know why my officers have not been going there. I do not know whether there is no road or what is going ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me use the opportunity to put a matter forward which I may forget and yet it is very important. Immediately after the Easter holiday, young people will be going to try their luck in the recruitment to various armed forces. The problem we have is that, we have not been quite up to date in issuing of identity cards to the young people. We have registered them and we have their details in our records but we have not issued their identity cards. I want to use this forum to make it public that ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the sum is equal in almost all districts because it takes care of the basics, fuel and materials. It is actually very little. However, the mobile registration will be done all over the country. The Treasury has agreed to give us some money. We will put the money where it is needed most. If it is in Nairobi, we will not be doing mobile registration because people in Nairobi can themselves be mobile. If it is in Tana River, we will be doing much more intensive mobile registration than in towns. We will, therefore, put ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I do not know why my officers at the Immigration Department have not done that. As a matter of fact, even when you bring your ID card, we still check with the Registration of Persons whether your records are the same as what you put in your ID card. I think I must say categorically that any young person who has applied for an ID card and has not obtained it because we have not provided it, it is up to us to check the records. It is something done electronically. It does ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: I started by saying that I do not know why my officers would do that. I am sure they are seeing me now. I am saying it is not so much the ID card which is view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it would require the amendment of the law, so that we can issue ID cards at an earlier age than 18 years. I suggested this immediately I came to this Ministry. I said that at the age of 12 years, a young person’s thumb print is now stabilized and cannot change. At 12 years, we can capture their records and give them ID cards. We can even call them Junior ID cards, so that they are distinguished from the ones for the adults. Even if we do not call them that, somebody can still check ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, previously, the Treasury has promised me money in the Supplementary Estimates. I was told I was late again. I was quite upset. However, they have said they will put this money in this Budget, which means I may access it in August. We will do mobile registration for one month in all parts of the country. As Mr. Mungatana, and many other people in arid areas have special problems, I think this mobile registration will target those areas. It is not meant for Nairobi, Kisumu or Mombasa. In cities, people can walk. However, in those ... view
• 20 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will depend on the terrain of the area. We have mapped the country and know how difficult it is. In some districts, so long as vehicles can move from location to location, we will cover it easily. In others, we might need two vehicles or three vehicles. It will depend on the logistics and the experts in the areas; we will seek the help of the Provincial Administration. I will try to work very closely with them. view
