    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this BBI, because of the constituencies that fall below the population quota, all of them are protected. However, because you protected a constituency that is below the population quota, does not mean we deny a constituency that requires proper representation. That is the point. That principle is enshrined in our Constitution. I hold that assertion by the Committee that the Schedule is unconstitutional is completely wrong. The question of fairness, for instance, Kisii with 1.2 million people has been given nine constituencies. Ideally, they should have 10. Kitui County, ideally should have nine. The reason you are seeing some fringe ones are not getting one more, is because of the ones which are protected. In fact, in the same proposal, Nairobi where people are complaining because it is getting 12, is supposed to be 16. That is what KNBS has told us. Even the extra 12 we are getting should have been 16."
