• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: First, in law and fact, they say functions follow resources. Nairobi as a city gets the major part of the resources of this country because of the population. If you were to say that those of us who live in Nairobi including all the Members in this House must be counted as if they live in their constituencies, then you will be living in Nairobi expecting to get services in Nairobi, but Nairobi County will not be getting the money for those services and it cannot be right. view
• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Secondly, this is a Population and Housing Census; it is not just counting the population. It is also counting the census. If you were to be deemed as if you were counted at home, how will your house in Nairobi be deemed to be in Rarieda where I come from? view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Lastly, practicality and accountability, you need the census to be accurate that if anybody doubts, it can be demonstrated. However, if I am told that the population is 5 million and the answer will be that some of them were counted in Mombasa, Kisumu and elsewhere, how do you hold them accountable? For that reason, I am not in position to support this amendment. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this looks reasonable. It is reasonable to gain access for purposes of getting accurate data for completion of the census. However, as reasonable as it is, and perhaps the Chair will guide us, it can only make sense if, one, “authorised officer” is defined. If it is not defined in the Act, it can be abused. Who is the authorised officer? Perhaps, the Chair will guide us as to where that is. Section (2) says: “…upon production of a letter of authorisation.” Again, who is to give that letter of authorisation? These are important issues because ... view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: I had also asked, “Who is to authorise?” The importance of this is that I want us to distinguish this part from the part where we gave the Director-General similar powers, in fact, without any authority of anyone. view

• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I accept the clarifications by both the Leader of the Majority Party and the Chair. In light of that clarification then, what is the sense of this section? In Section 12, we amended the principal Section 20. We give exactly those powers to the Director-General without any question of producing any authority. By definition, he can delegate those powers. So, why do we need this other section? view
