    "content": "Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning regarding the National Population and Housing results of 2019 Census recently released by Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS). The recent figures released by the KNBS have elicited complaints and protests across the country. The statistics do not reflect the findings of a pre-census report released early this year by KNBS, which indicated the various regions as having registered growth. Hon. Speaker, it is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning on the following: 1. Could the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) provide the raw data of the census as captured by enumerators across the country and specifically Mandera County? 2. Why has the Director General of KNBS edited the figures as mentioned during the official handover of the results of 2019 Census? 3. Why is there demographic difference between male and female population in Mandera County? 4. Why are there drastic population disparities between the 2009 and 2019 Census despite the population and household growth? I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
