    "content": "This is a very scientific way which will solve the problem of getting constituencies along political ideas the way we have been doing in this country. Also, it will enable us to equitably distribute resources, for example, through the National Government Constituencies Development Fund and the Ward Development Fund if representation is okay. I differ on this because we do not know why we do census in this country when it comes to movement of constituencies. I tend to think that one of the objectives of census like the one we did in 2019 is to assess the spatial distribution of Kenyans. It also captures urbanisation, how people migrate from rural to urban areas. I tend to think that we could not have protected some constituencies. I know there are about 12 counties with constituencies that were protected like Taita Taveta, Lamu and Nyeri. While we add constituencies, some counties will lose constituencies. We should have a fixed number of 360 The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
