    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I insist that for us to support this Bill, we should be allowed to make those necessary amendments particularly the creation of constituencies which is in the Bill as the Second Schedule. We want to increase constituencies. However, our Constitution is clear on how to increase and distribute them. It is the responsibility of the IEBC. Why are we taking away the responsibility that has been given to the IEBC in the Constitution? The way these constituencies have been distributed is very wanting. I cry for my people of Vihiga County. We strongly believe that if we will have additional 70 constituencies, there is no way Vihiga County can be left out. We need a constituency in Hamisi. We have made proposals for Hamisi to be split into two. We believe that if justice was done, then for sure we would have gotten a constituency as the people of Vihiga in Hamisi."
