    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the County Statistics Bill, 2018 and congratulate Sen. Farhiya Haji for this timely Bill. I know most of my colleagues have talked about its importance and timeliness in terms of resource allocation and development planning at the county level. I agree largely because this Constitution is not old enough. I think it might be starting to work after crawling. We still need to do a lot of legwork in ensuring that we put in place the necessary and absolute legislations. Madam Temporary Speaker, I was looking at the comparison of the Access to Information Act 2016 and in line with Article 34 on access to information and media freedom, I want to say that statistics form a very big basis in terms of development. I have looked at many issues that have been raised in this County Statistics Bill and noted that it is very important. If you walk into any governor’s or administrator’s office, they cannot tell you exactly what is happening because even as we allocate resources to the county level, we need also need statistics. 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."
