Former Gatundu North MP Clement Waibara has requested the office of Registrar of Persons in Kamwangi to consider offering mobile registration in public areas such as churches, school and during community events.
The former MP said Monday youths are not willing to join long queues in search of national identity cards adding that the government has enough resources to facilitate mobile registration.
He said youths who have attained the age of 18 years and above have a constitutional right of acquiring the crucial government documents without much strain.
Speaking in Kamwangi, Waibara said there are many youth in the area who have attained the age of 18 years but cannot not apply for voter’s cards since they do not have ID cards which he said is a requirement.
“Voter registration exercise kicked off a month ago and the IEBC officers in this area have been going round in various centre’s issuing voter's cards but reports show that very few people were turning up to register as voters,” he said.
The former lawmaker said he was ready to vie for the same post come 2017 noting that he was ready to complete the projects he had started in Gatundu.
“I am also calling on wananchi to work together with chiefs in their locations to eliminate the returning illicit brew which had retarded development among our youths,” he said.
