    "content": " Thank you Hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of the people of Embakasi West Constituency draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, Article 10(2) of the Constitution identifies inclusiveness as one of the aspects constituting the national values and principles of governance; THAT, Embakasi West Constituency, Embakasi South Constituency, Embakasi North Constituency, Embakasi Central Constituency and Embakasi East Constituency were hived off from the then Embakasi Constituency, which covered a massive area of 208 km²; THAT, as a result of the split of the then Embakasi Constituency, the residents of Embakasi West Constituency have been experiencing numerous unjustified inconveniences when seeking public services on account of administrative and jurisdictional boundaries due to the location of various public institutions and offices in areas outside the jurisdiction of the constituency; THAT, those challenges are exemplified by the fact that, for example, the offices of the Ministry of Education as well as those of the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government still use pre-2010 Constitution boundaries to manage the affairs pertaining to Embakasi West Constituency; THAT, as a result, various regions of the constituency fall under the jurisdiction of different sub-counties, with examples being Mowlem Ward which falls under Njiru Sub-County, Kariobangi/Uhuru Ward which has some of its area falling under Kamukunji Sub-County, Umoja One and Umoja Two wards which fall under Embakasi Sub-County; THAT, in addition, several schools established within the jurisdiction of the constituency fall under other sub-counties. They include Buruburu One Primary School which is in Makadara Sub-County, Kariobangi South and Supaloaf Primary Schools which are in Njiru Sub-County as well as Uhuru Primary which is in Kamukunji Sub-County; THAT, these overlaps in the jurisdictional and administrative boundaries continue to inconvenience and negatively affect thousands of Embakasi West Constituency residents when seeking public services, particularly with respect to services under the National Safety Net The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
