    "content": "Gwassi Constituency all over a sudden became rich from a poverty level of 66 per cent to 50 per cent. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, someone sat somewhere in an office and came up with these statistics. This is unacceptable. Even as we want to support this Motion, mine would be that we require a guarantee that, this time round, the Ministry is going to do a credible survey and come up with results that can be relied on; and not outrageous results like the one we see in this booklet. It is important that the Ministry does a radical surgery in the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). Otherwise, whatever amount we are going to give as a country to those people to carry out survey is going to be a waste of resources and that is not acceptable. If we are going to proceed to allocate resources to counties and even constituencies, we need reliable and credible statistics. If we are going to do that, first we need a guarantee that, this time round, it is going to be done differently. Otherwise, if we are just going to pass a Motion here to approve that we carry out a fresh survey yet, once that is done, we are still going to have the same personnel carrying out the survey; of what use is that survey going to be? We would rather stay with the figures as they are - even if they are wrong and we know it - rather than spend Government resources again to carry out a survey which will not be credible."
