    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) We had agreed with the CDFC Parliamentary Committee that, one, we are await the actual population size of the constituencies based on the 2009 Population and Housing census, and secondly, on an updated poverty index based on the welfare monitoring survey scheduled in the next financial year. This decision was prompted by the need to consider movement of the people due to certain events like the 2008 post-election crisis as well as the need to have an accurate and actual poverty index. (b) It has not been valid to compute the amount of money of ten poorest constituencies in 2009/2010 on basis of the current official national poverty index due to the above explanations. (c) As earlier indicated, a new official poverty index would be computed after the release of the census data. This will allow us to use a new official poverty index in the financial year 2010/2011."
