    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I would like to support these amendments because the time of Parliament is very valuable. There is no reason why what we can achieve now should wait until another hon. Member brings to this House another Motion for us to eventually do what we can. I support these amendments. We should remember that while it is true that it is the leaders who usually come up with the idea for the creation of new districts, when we go back to the people at the grassroots level and they decide where the boundaries and the district headquarters should be, we should avoid the tendency of coming back to Nairobi and running to high offices to try and reverse the decision of wananchi . I am saying this knowing very well that when the recently created districts were mooted, DCs and PCs moved around the country and sought the views of wananchi . Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I support the proposed amendments to the Motion because of the time factor."
