    "content": " Hon. Speaker, it is true that we have received proposals for sub-division of the current Ndhiwa Sub-County within Ndhiwa Constituency into three sub-counties, which are: Ndhiwa East, which will be a new sub-county, with the headquarters in Lwanda Kobita; Ndhiwa West, a new sub-county with headquarters at Ratanga; and, Ndhiwa Central, which will be the remnant of the existing sub-county. Hon. Speaker, having looked at the proposals to split Ndhiwa, not only into more sub- counties but also divisions, locations and sub-locations, it is our assessment using the criteria that we use for creation of new administrative units, that Ndhiwa merits sub-division. However, the implementation of that request from Ndhiwa is going to take a while for the reason I have given. Our ministry is constrained tremendously in terms of resources. Putting up a new sub-county means setting up infrastructure for the Deputy County Commissioner, heads of departments, there must be a vote, vehicle, and recurrent expenditure."
