    "content": "In the interest of time and to give other people opportunity, I will point out one more. Clause 10 deals with delimitation of electoral units where apparently there is a second Schedule in the Bill that creates extra constituencies. Again, this is the most unconstitutional part of this particular Bill. I am confident that the courts will throw it out. The BBI Taskforce has no powers whatsoever in any part of law to create constituencies. They can only propose that the IEBC should speed up the review of boundaries and constituencies or set a number, but not to allocate them to various counties and various electoral units. In any case, the manner in which it has been done is extremely pedestrian. The reason IEBC goes to the ground and talks to the locals before it undertakes delimitation of boundaries is because it starts the boundaries review at the polling station level and ward level before they go to the constituency level. The unconstitutionality of this particular clause goes on to purport to direct IEBC on how to undertake the work it is constitutionally mandated to do under Article 89 of the Constitution."
