    "content": "I want to report to the House that as we speak, a total of 34 judges have since been appointed and sworn into office. However, the Committee is saddened that His Excellency the President excluded the appointment six other Judges and this Committee continues to robustly pursue the appointment and swearing-in of the said remaining six Judges as provided for in the Constitution and the Judicial Service Act. This Committee will be making a comprehensive report on this particular issue to the House next week but we have taken great exception that these six individuals remain condemned unheard. We also considered a Statement by Sen. Johnes Mwaruma on the administrative boundary between Taita Taveta County and Makueni County. On this particular issue, the Committee considered this matter jointly with the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. Along the way, it transpired that there were a number of county disputes involving the counties of Meru and Isiolo; Garissa and Wajir; West Pokot and Turkana; Baringo and Samburu; Kisumu and Kericho; Kisumu and Nandi; Kisumu, Vihiga and Siaya; Taita Taveta and Kajiado; Nandi and Kakamega and Kisii and Nyamira, surrounding the boundary of Keroka Township. The Committees have so far met and received submissions from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), the National Committee on Integration and Cohesion, the CS for Lands and Physical Planning, the CS for Devolution and ASAL and the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government. The two Committees are scheduled to undertake a joint retreat next month with all the stakeholders to address the issues that have come up during this time. The Committee wishes to report to the House that one notable aspect that has come up is that different Government agencies hold different maps of electoral and administrative areas leading to conflicts where some areas are in a different county administrative units and another area is in a different area for purposes of elections which has created serious conflicts. The key challenge that these two committees have faced when considering this matter is that there has been persistent non-appearance of some Cabinet Secretaries who are invited to respond the matters aforesaid before the Committees. In this particular The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
