    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I would like to draw the attention of Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale to the mortality of 2012 which is 10,288. In 2013, it was 6,207; in 2014, it was 6,302 and in 2015, it was 7,204. There was a sharp decline in 2012 but there is a small increase that has hitherto not gone down from 2013, to date. Statistically, it may be very difficult to make the sort of conclusion that he made because I think the standard deviation here is not really significant on that kind of decision just because of the spike of 2014/2015. We need to look at a few more years before I come to that kind of conclusion that it is true. Please note that the Jubilee Government’s reign will end in 2017. When I look at that, maybe I may come to that conclusion. For now, it is too premature to make that kind of conclusion. Regarding Sen. Wetangula’s view, it is true that there could be poor registration. I cannot confirm that level of registration of deaths at the villages in Bungoma because I can only rely on statistics. If there is irregularity on registration of deaths, then let this concern be expressed by this Senate - as we have been doing - to the relevant Ministry, which is not the Ministry of Health, to enhance the activity on registration of births and deaths at that level. I thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate"
