    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise on a point of order pursuant to Standing Order 227 (2) relating to the timeline for consideration of public petitions by the Public Petitions Committee. Hon. Speaker, as you may recall, on 8th August 2023, you reported to this House a Petition by the Centre for Accountability, Reform and Democracy regarding delimitation on electoral units. You subsequently referred the Petition to the Public Petitions Committee for consideration. The Petitioner had expressed concerns that Parliament was yet to develop a legal framework for creating and determining sub-locations that take into account the obligations of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), to progressively achieve population parity as required under Article 89(3) of the Constitution. The National Dialogue Committee Report has also echoed the Petitioner’s concerns and recommended that delimitation of boundaries be promptly done immediately the IEBC is properly constituted. The Petitioner’s prayers seek to strengthen Parliament’s role in the review of the electoral units. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor"
