"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am here to speak as a research student and as someone who has taught research at the university level. When it comes to research, there is a threshold that one must meet. In any research, you must define the sampling framework. This is very critical because your sample must be a true representation of the entire population. The methodology that is used must also be disclosed. When it comes to data analysis, there must be a clear framework. I want to declare that I was not called by Infotrak Research and Consulting. They never called me yet they rated me as the best Member from Trans Nzoia County. I never talked to them; I do not know who did that. However, there are minimum thresholds that that research did not meet. Why am I saying this? When I tried to ask about the parameters they were looking at, they said that they were using a telephone interview and they do not even know the respondents they were picking. A Form Two dropout, Standard One dropout and a university graduate respond differently. The most important thing is that as Parliament, we must put regulations in place because this is the time these unscrupulous business people are busy. Tomorrow, you will see a presidential poll in the newspaper because they want to make money. They will carry out campaigns for parliamentarians like us who want to be governors. It is, therefore, important that the law must be in place, so that whoever is going to do this kind of survey must meet the threshold. If not, they must be punished. I remember Hon. Boni Khalwale brought a law to this Parliament. It is important that any pollstar must meet the minimum threshold."
