    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, remember the census was done by this same Ministry. The census was done and it was said to be the most comprehensive census ever undertaken by the Ministry. It was delayed because the Ministry itself realized that it was inaccurate and ordered a repeat in certain areas. So, to urge the House that it could be inaccurate, we are not far from the truth because we have seen it happening before. Not long ago, the same Ministry carried out a census. It had all the officers and all the money and yet it said this census was fictitious. So, we are saying that this survey could also be fictitious because it is the same department. That inefficient department that is not able to collect statistics is the same department that has done this household survey. How can we rely on that department that has not yet acquitted itself to allocate CDF? This is what we are questioning. When we are questioning this, we are not saying certain sections are not entitled to the money they had been given. That is not the issue. We are Kenyans. We think Turkana and other areas should receive enough money to be able to get them out of poverty. But we are saying that in doing so, certain areas should not be penalized. Certain areas should not be penalized by removing what they already have towards those areas."
