    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1), to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security and Defence, regarding the adequacy of administrative units in Kisumu County and their capacity to effectively serve the growing population. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the establishment of well-structured administrative units is vital for efficient governance, security and equitable resource distribution. As Kisumu County continues to grow, it is imperative to assess whether the existing administrative framework is sufficient to meet the needs of the people. In the Statement, Mr. Speaker, the Committee should- (1) State the total number of administrative units in Kisumu County, including sub-counties, divisions, locations, and sub-locations, and indicate whether these units were aligned with the current population distribution and service delivery needs. (2) Clarify whether the Government has received any requests from local leaders, communities or stakeholders regarding the creation of additional administrative units to enhance governance and public service delivery. (3) Explain the criteria used by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration to determine the adequacy of units and whether Kisumu County meets these thresholds, alerting any plans to establish new units in Kisumu County. (4) Outline measures the Government is putting in place to strengthen the capacity of existing units to effectively address issues of security, development and public service."
