    "content": "Clause 11(a) is very appropriate on the economy and shared prosperity. It tries to ensure that the economy of this country is properly anchored and what is realised is properly distributed. I want to comment on the amendment to Article 89 of the Constitution where the number of constituencies will be added from 290 to 360. I support this because of three or four issues. There will be equitable representation of Kenyans in various areas. I think the formula used and explained in the House, the drafters took the population of the country which is 47.6 million and divided by 360 to get approximately 133,000 people per constituency. Those who are saying they were not added more constituencies should use this formula to check if it works. I have tried it in my county and other counties and realised that if you divide the population by 360, you will find the constituencies will have equal representation in this country."
