    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- GIVEN the clear provisions of Article 6(1) and the First Schedule which establishes the 47 counties of the Republic of Kenya; CONSIDERING the clear provisions of the Districts and Provinces Act (Cap 105A) of 1992 which specifically delineates the geographical boundaries of each county; NOTING the provisions of Article 188 of the Constitution, which clearly states that the boundaries of a county be altered only by resolution of an Independent Commission, set up for that purpose by Parliament and with the support of at least two- thirds of the Members of the National Assembly and two-thirds of the county delegations in the Senate; FURTHER NOTING that the boundaries of the counties have not been surveyed and no beacons have been fixed; CONCERNED that failure by the National Government to mark and fix the county boundaries has led to endless and sometimes violent conflicts, in which innocent Kenyans have been killed and their property destroyed and is generally perpetuating poverty and underdevelopment in many counties of this Republic; THIS HOUSE urges the Office of the President and the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development to urgently establish a task force to survey mark, and fix beacons for all the county boundaries and submit a report of the said taskforce to this House on or before 31st March 2016."
