    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. As I promised on Thursday, we are in receipt of a signed Statement from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics concerning the Question raised by the Hon. (Rtd.) Bashir S. Abdullaih, Member for Mandera North Constituency. I now proceed to read the Satement from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics. It is on the 2019 Kenya population and housing census results. Since 1969, Kenya conducts essential population and housing census on de facto basis with the midnight of 24th and 25th August as the reference point. The census has been implemented in accordance to the United Nations (UN) principles and recommendations for conducting population and housing census. The 2019 Kenya population and housing census was conducted under the provisions of the following laws: a) The Constitution of Kenya 2010 Fourth Schedule, part 1, item 11. b) The Statistics Act No. 4 of 2006. c) The Statistics (Census of Population Order) 2018, Legal Notice No. 205 and d) The Statistics Amendment Act, 2019. The following are the responses to the concerns raised by the Member of Parliament from Mandera North Constituency, Hon. (Rtd.) Bashir S. Abdullaih on the 2019 census results: 1. On the request to provide raw data as enumerated, the Statistics (Census of Population Order) 2018, Legal Notice No. 205, Section 15 states that the information to be obtained during the pilot census, the national census or post census enumeration survey shall be confidential and no report, abstract or document shall be published or shown to any unauthorised person. It provides for confidentiality of information generated from individuals in both census and sub- surveys. The raw census data being requested is census information collected. It includes names and personal identification details among other characteristics; it will go against the Statistics Act and the fundamental principles of official statistics as contained in the Fourth Schedule of the Act to provide raw data. 2. When releasing the census results, the Director-General stated that the data underwent validation checks as guided by the UN fundamental principles of official statistics and the UN The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
