    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I do not pretend to speak for the Government, but I am speaking as a Member of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) who sits in the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs. I have just listened to the solutions that the Member has put through. One of those solutions is that we make each constituency a sub-county. We have been talking and seeking authority in the Committee so that we can have each constituency as a sub-county. However, you know that once that is done, it has a lot of implications on budgets. We know where we are coming from and the Gen Zs have confirmed it to us that we do not have extra money to spend and we must be vigilant on how we spend the little that we have. The truth of the matter is that it is not possible to have every constituency as a sub- county. Therefore, in whatever solutions that we are seeking, they must be solutions that are workable within the budget that we currently have. As much as it might look glossy and is what we are looking for and want, we know that we are facing real budget constraints and it would not be possible to make every constituency a sub-county. Thank you."
