    "content": "period, there were variations in price index depending on the season. That brought in a lot of errors. Fourthly, the survey focused mostly on markets. That is where most of the data was collected from. People who go to buy goods in markets do not necessarily come from the constituencies where the markets are. They could easily show the consumer price index being very high and show that the people within that locality have a high purchasing power when it is not the fact. For example, in Luanda Market in Emuhaya, people come to buy goods there from as far as Jinja in Uganda and Talime in Tanzania. So, using the market prices also had a major impact on the determination of the purchasing power of the people. Fifthly, the questionnaire was too elaborate. The common people could not understand the questions. That had a major impact on the results. I do not want to go into details because this is a more technical report. This Motion is urging the Government to allocate resources to the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, through the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics and other independent consultants to make sure that the quality of the data collected is up to standard, so that the work can be done before we go to the devolved Governments system. I will stop there and ask Dr. Kones, who is a statistician - he has a PhD in Statistics - to second this Motion."
