    "content": "Parliament, and they are in operation. Also, the voters in those constituencies are now used to the way the Member of Parliament, his office, and all the units are there. Once it is dissolved, it means that so many things will have to be changed. The District County Commissioners (DCCs) will have to go; the Accounting Officers (ACs) will have to be reshuffled; and the way people behave in terms of development will change because the National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) money will not be available again because they have already scrapped the constituency. I think this needs to be looked into properly and something is done so that we retain the same constituencies the way they are. One Member has argued that by the time the next census is done, the number of voters in that constituency or the population will have grown to the desired number by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. Also, those changes will bring friction, especially when people will not feel comfortable with their constituencies being merged with others. With those few remarks, I want to stop there and say that this is a good Bill and I support."
