    "content": "Regarding the issue of national census, I think there is a conspiracy within Government to deny pastoral communities an opportunity to be counted. Why must the census be done in August after every ten years? We know the situation now. All the pastoral communities have moved to areas they can find pasture. They are in Ukambani and the Rift Valley. As we know, the Maasai have left. They have even gone as far as into the game parks in search of pastures. Our people have moved. Some of them have crossed the border into Ethiopia. Others have gone to Tanzania. Why has the Government decided to do the census in August? This is an important national activity, because the Government allocates resources on the basis of the outcome of the national census. Our people do not get the opportunity to participate in the national census and, therefore, we are denied the resources that we require, as a region. Therefore, I want the Government to reconsider our situation and do the national census in our region in December. The rest of the country can have it even in August, but for us, the pastoral communities, the census must be re-scheduled to December. With those few remarks, I support the Motion."
