    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to add a voice to this important Bill. It is very important to have the County Statistical Board. Because of the devolved function of the County governments, it is important for the board to be constituted to ensure implementation of what the Constitution says. It is very clear that power belongs to the people of this nation. In a devolved system, it is possible for the counties to effectively serve the people in their county if they know the exact number of people they have. The statistics would inform the number of people in a county. The statistics can be a roadmap for governors to know how many people are in the county, their needs, and requirements and how they can be served effectively. As we talk of the county statistics, the census should be done periodically because children are born every day and people also die daily. It is not possible for a county to say that these are the number of people in this county. It is something that needs to be done often like after every two or three years although it is a very expensive venture. Even if it is expensive, it is worth the expense because it will help governors to know the number of people in the counties and how best they can serve them. 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."
