    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Kenya National Adult Survey is jointly being done by the Department of Adult Eduction in my Ministry and the Central Bureau of Statistics in the Ministry of Planning and National Development which is mandated to undertake surveys in the country. The survey has the purpose of fulfilling the following objectives:- (i) Generating comprehensive data and information on adult literacy for national planning and reporting on national targets. (ii) Establishing literacy levels among the youth and adults. (iii) Identifying causes of illiteracy among the youth and adults and seeking solutions. (iv) Identifying issues that need to be addressed to promote youth and adult literacy. In Samburu, the survey is being conducted by the District Statistical Officer, District Adult Education Officer, 11 Cluster Guides and a team supervisor, who are Government officials, mandated to undertake the exercise professionally. In addition, the four research assistants engaged in the exercise were recruited from the \"Maa\" speaking community. The team supervisor is an officer of my Ministry from Narok District. Since village elders have also been involved in the exercise, this illustrates the engagement of local Samburu personnel in the activity. (b) All phases of the Kenya National Adult Literacy Survey are estimated to cost Kshs7.7 million. While part of the money is being sourced from the Department of Adult Education Programme, the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Ministry of Education through the Kenya Education Sector Programme, the donor component is being provided by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA)---"
