    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the first issue was on the establishment of the district headquarters. I said in my Ministerial Statement that, that is one of the issues that was supposed to be resolved at the leaders meetings. There is still an opportunity for the leaders to come together and resolve that matter because it is not the intention of the Government to impose a district headquarters on any one of our districts. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as far as Nairobi is concerned, the idea is to split Nairobi into four 1114 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 3, 2007 districts. The issue of divisions that is being raised by the hon. Member could be a new one. I am not aware of that. But after we have created the districts, the District Development Committees (DDCs) may wish to propose the creation of more divisions and locations in their areas. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, where constituency boundaries overlap, we raised that issue when we sent out a letter to the provincial commissioners and even when we gave a notice in the media. We instructed leaders to use that opportunity to correct situations where constituency boundaries overlap. We have had situations where some parts of certain constituencies belong to one district and others belong to another district. We have Ijara District as an example, and we have used this opportunity to correct that situation. We want to ask leaders to use this opportunity to try and resolve this problem, so that it does not interfere with our administration. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
