    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in future – that is why it is good that some of my colleagues in the Committee on Finance and Budget are sitting here – we should adopt that framework that is being used in Pakistan and India, on how they deal with population. In the case of India, they have suspended the use of population for a period up to 2026, and they have opened only a small window. This is because the propensity of cheating is so high, that this will never be an accurate figure for purposes of ensuring that one plus one is two in Kenya. One plus one, for purposes of population of Kenya, is almost four, because everybody wants to cheat and have resources for purposes of their population. This is opposed to a framework where this country understands that if you live in the topmost part of this country and the most southern part of this country, you are entitled to development equally. If that was to happen, it would solve these problems, where you want to add your household or the people who have given birth in such a proportion, that you do not know whether people are sleeping day and night and have produced children four times more than they should; and others whose population has stagnated."
