    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Statistics Bill be now read the Second Time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is one of the shortest Bills to be presented to this House. The revised Statistics Act is proposed in this Bill to provide for the establishment of the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. This is basically the main purpose of this Bill. As we all know, statistics is a powerful and crucial tool for decision-making in our development agenda. Quality statistics enables us, as a country, to measure achievements towards fulfilling our national and international obligations. For example, in the implementation of our Economic Recovery Strategy for Wealth and Employment Creation, the Government is expected to continuously monitor whether policies and programmes, as outlined in the Strategy, are yielding results. The effectiveness of such monitoring depends on availability of qualitative data."
