    "content": "because the counties have already debated it and now it has come to the Floor of the House. Very quickly, some of the issues that are critical include the increase of the percentage of allocation to counties from 15 to 35. There is also the issue of subjecting the Bill to a referendum and Parliament will and has participated in this process. There is also the value of input at the various stages. Madam Deputy Speaker, one of the issues that have raised a lot of contention, and this happened in the morning, is the proposed additional 70 constituencies. The basis of this has been and is reported to be from a report from the IEBC on the revised preliminary report of the proposed boundaries, constituencies and wards, published in 2012. Many of these counties are the ones that have been incorporated. Again, a lot of insights and discussion is coming in terms of how these 70 additional constituencies should be allocated and delimitated. All these are healthy because in the long run, we need to ensure that at the end of it all, equitable resource allocation can be adhered to for all the counties. The population data needs to be put in place for us to be able to do that."
