"content": "(Mr. Oparanya): Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the first issue raised by Dr. Khalwale, as we are aware, 25 per cent of the CDF is based on the population trends and poverty. We have been using the 1999 figures. From next year, we will be using the figures of 2009. However, we will carry out a special survey on poverty, which cannot be covered within the census. This is because the poverty survey takes a whole 12 months. We are planning to do a poverty survey immediately after the census, so that by August 2010, we can have both the a census figure and the poverty levels in each area. That is a very different survey. However, we cannot be carrying out census exercise every year. We have to use the estimates of the previous year. We have been estimating the growth of population by 2.5 per cent each year. On the issue of disabilities, this has been covered in the questionnaire. However, the issue of squatters has not been covered because the census exercise cannot incorporate everything. On the issue raised by Ms. Noor on pastoralists, I would like to say that all enumerators will be recruited from their home areas, so that they identify everybody. That is why I am informing hon. Members that they are members of the District Census Committees (DCCs). I urge them to be involved in the recruitment exercise of all the enumerators in their constituencies, so that they do not complain of âforeignersâ being recruited."
