    "content": "Secondly, it is about the constituencies. I come from a county where four of our constituencies were protected. If nothing is done, we will lose two constituencies in Taita Taveta County. Therefore, this Bill has clearly indicated in the Second Schedule that the creation of additional constituencies in Article 89(1) shall not result in the loss of a constituency existing before the commencement date of this Act. It even further emphasises that by stating that for greater certainty, any protected constituencies in the counties of Tana River, Lamu, Taita Taveta, Marsabit, Isiolo, Nyandarua, Nyeri, Samburu, Elgeyo Marakwet, Baringo, Vihiga and Busia shall not have their protected status impaired by the delimitation of additional constituencies mentioned in this Schedule. So, this Bill gives comfort to the people who come from these 27 constituencies 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."
