• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your support on the issue raised by Mr. Masanya. However, I would like to confirm that we have the capacity to do so. Mr. Masanya knows as much as everybody else in this House that the Electoral Commission of Kenya (ECK) in establishing constituencies, is guided by, among other factors, population density. So, that is, definitely, a factor. view
• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true. However, I am not so incompetent as not to answer his question. view
• 6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do so. It must be obvious to the hon. Member that the rate of population increase cannot be the same in every province. It is, definitely, different. I do not have the figures with me but I will take the earliest opportunity to supply this House with those figures. view

(a) The Ministry of Planning and National Development recruited research assistants for the Participatory Poverty Assessment Programme in July, 2005 and not September, 2005 for 18 sample districts which included Tharaka District.

• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought the hon. Member had the same answer as mine.

I can read out the list for him if he does not have it. view

• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the ten people who were recruited for the Participatory Poverty Assessment Programme in July, 2005 were obtained from the people who had been recruited for the Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey of 2004. Out of that list, we got 15 people who were interviewed. That was the same list for 2005. Out of the 15 applicants, ten qualified. I have both lists with me, that is, the list comprising of the 15 applicants and the other May 3, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 859 one for the ten applicants who were successful.

• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you cannot reconcile the two. In fact, one is a progression of the other. There were actually interviews conducted in 2005, but the people who were called for those interviews are the people who had applied in 2004. These are two exercises that are part of the same thing. That was the rationale that was used. view
• 3 May 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that the Participatory Poverty Assessment is part of the Kenya Household Budget Survey and so we used the same applicants. When you ask people to apply for jobs, you will definitely get so many applicants. So, some were taken during the first part of the exercise and others were called for interviews for the second part of the interviews. view
