    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Upon request from leaders and members of the public from various areas across the country, the Government published gazette notices to inform the public of the intention to create new districts curved from various districts. Further, the Government is currently undertaking a delineation exercises to ascertain the boundaries of all the districts. So far, the delineation of boundaries of 116 districts is complete and the remaining 32 districts will be completed in the current financial year, 2008/2009. Once the delineation exercise is complete, the description of the district boundaries will be presented to this House through a Bill, to be prepared, for the amendment of the District and Provinces Act No.5 of 1992. (b) The creation of the new districts is based on criteria other than the constituencies, such as the population density, the geographical and physical features, internal harmony, population, security demands, socio-cultural activities, land size management, constraints and development. If there is a constituency that meets the above criteria, it will be considered. In fact, several districts in ASALs, including Turkana, Samburu, Laikipia, Marsabit, Isiolo and all the constituencies in North Eastern Province were made districts."
