    "content": " Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you again for your indulgence. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The number of births and deaths registered in Garba-Tulla District since 2007 up to December, 2010, are as follows:- In 2007, the births registered were 432 and the deaths were 13, which means that they are doing very well. In 2008, the births were 415 and the deaths were 25, equally, very good statistics. In 2009, the births were 548 and deaths were 68. In 2010, the births registered were 333 and the deaths were 45. So, between 2007 and 2010, we have a total of 1,728 births registered and 150 deaths registered. (b) The department is extremely understaffed and has a countrywide shortage of 549 registration officers. We shall, therefore, post a civil registrar when the Ministry of Finance gives us authority to recruit. I may add that we have sought that authority for the last one year and we have not been very lucky."
