• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kenya has a successful history of census taking, going back to 1948 when the first comprehensive census enumeration was undertaken. Since the first post-Independence census in 1969, the country has conducted population census every ten years as recommended by the United Nations (UN). Over the years, census agenda has evolved from mere head count to comprehensive inquiries meant to support the country’s complex information needs as socio-economic development continues. The 2009 Census enumeration was undertaken in a very peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, thanks to the efforts of various stakeholders, including hon. Members of Parliament who played a ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the provisional results were originally slated to be released on 31st December, 2009. However, because there were just basic aggregates, the view of the Government was that comprehensive results be processed and released as soon as possible to support the ongoing reforms. I am, therefore, happy to report that the comprehensive results were released earlier today. The speed and accuracy with which the data were processed is another first for Kenya, making us the first country in this region with our size of population to complete the process and tabulation of comprehensive results within 12 months. The ... view

• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, why I am issuing this statement is because we had inconsistent results in some districts. The data for 2009 Census is fairly accurate. However, after performing routine data evaluation and assessment as recommended by the United Nations before releasing of any census results, we have observed that the results of the following eight districts are irregular. One is Lagdera. The population seems to be understated. The population for Wajir East, Mandera Central, Mandera East, Mandera West, Turkana Central, Turkana North and Turkana South districts were overstated. The results were considered irregular for the following reasons:- The rate ... view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will start with the last one raised by Dr. Nuh. In fact, the reason why we are repeating the exercise in those specific districts is because we have three males to one female. He has just rightly said that it should be one to four; it is the vice-versa. So, we have many men between 35 years and 75 years. So, we do not know where the women are. So, that is quite an issue! view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, so where are the women? We need to go there and confirm that! view
