"content": "(Mr. Oparanya): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that some of the people involved in the recently concluded census exercise have not been paid their dues. Elders from 80 out of the 158 districts constituted as at 31st December, 2008 have already been paid. However, elders from the remaining 80 districts have not been paid their dues due to some discrepancies in information received from the districts. These discrepancies include lists not being authenticated by the District Census Officials, lack of proper identification information and some lists not conforming to the circular on specific numbers allocated to respective districts. The process of paying the elders has been slow to forestall payment of non- bona fide personnel. Police officers who provided security during the census exercise will be paid their allowance after all the field census personnel have been paid. (b) Each village elder involved in the exercise is being paid at the rate of Kshs400 per day for four days. This gives a total of Kshs1,600 per elder. In the case of police officers, officers in the rank of Inspector and above will be paid at the rate of Kshs1,800 per day for three days while officers below the rank of Inspector will be paid Kshs1,200 per day for three days. The payment will be made as soon as the field personnel and elders are paid. About 55,000 security officers were mobilized to provide security services during census exercise. (c) I would like to lay on the Table the list of the village elders from 78 districts who have already been paid and another list of the remaining 80 districts who have not been paid."
