They were discriminated against because when the BBI proponents went to seek their views, they did not tell them to give views about creating extra constituencies, the formulae for their creation and the criterion. Kieni Constituency is 52 per cent of Nyeri County. I have seen other counties being proposed to have some extra constituencies. Mathira, which I represent, is a very big constituency. I am sure if the BBI proponents did not hijack this responsibility, but left it to the IEBC, the people of Nyeri, the people of Kieni, and the people of Mathira would have had a great opportunity to appear before the IEBC and put up their case using figures and statistics and get constituencies. As it is, if these amendments go through, the people of Nyeri are cooked. They are nowhere. I must tell the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
