    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise on a point of order under Standing Order No.47(3) and specifically (b), (d) and (e). I am asking for your indulgence. If you look at 47(3)(b), it says:- “If the Speaker is of the opinion that any proposed Motion- (a) is one which infringes, or the debate on which is likely to infringe, any of these Standing Orders, or (b) is contrary to the Constitution, without expressly proposing appropriate amendment of the Constitution; or, (c) is too long; or, (d) is framed in terms which are inconsistent with the dignity of the House; or, (e) contains or implies allegations which the Speaker is not satisfied that the Mover can substantiate; or, (f) calls for the commitment of public funds for which no provision is made in the Annual Estimates as adopted by the National Assembly; The Speaker may direct either that, the Motion is inadmissible, or that notice of it cannot be given without such alteration as the Speaker may approve”. I am saying that this Motion is unconstitutional in the sense that it is discriminatory in effect. This Motion is requesting the House to disregard the published results of the Kenya Integrated Households Budget Survey of 2005/2006 which were more comprehensive and covered all the constituencies as opposed to the Geographical Dimensions Report of 2005 which the Motion is insisting must be used. I have a report here from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, itself, and I will give a poverty profile of its work. The first poverty profile was undertaken in 1982. There was NACEP 1, of 1982/1984. All provinces were covered except North Eastern Province. Turkana and Samburu districts of Rift Valley, Marsabit and Isiolo districts of Eastern Province were also excluded due to insecurity. We come to the Welfare Monetary Survey 1 of 1992 and again, in Isiolo, Garissa and Mandera, only urban clusters were covered. Again, Turkana, Marsabit and Samburu were not covered. How can we continue using a survey that was not comprehensive and disregard a survey that was comprehensive? Welfare Monetary Survey III did not cover the districts of Turkana, Mandera and Samburu due to insecurity. That is what went on into 2005 without the areas that I have mentioned. The Kenya Integration Survey Budget, the survey of 2005/2006 was more comprehensive. All Arid and semi-arid areas were covered."
