    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion, if for nothing else, but because the districts are already in existence. I think we have to formalise them and undo the wrongs that were previously done. I think it is a responsible thing for us as legislators 1182 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES May 7, 2006 to enact laws to legalise illegalities where no harm was intended and no harm has been done. I would like to propose also that when the Government creates new districts, it should consider moving the town of Kipini which is presently in Tana River District to Lamu District. As it is now, the people of Kipini are originally from Lamu. They share a common cultural background with the Lamu people and they obtain all their services from Lamu District, because Lamu District Headquarters is just 60 kilometres away. On the other hand, the district headquarters for Tana River District is 200 kilometres away from Kipini. So, if somebody from Kipini wants an identification card, he has to travel 200 kilometres to Hola in order to obtain it. When he reaches there, he is told his name, culture or ethnic group is from Lamu District. He is told to go there and obtain his identification card. If he goes to Lamu, he is told his parents are from Tana River District and he has to go there. So, the people of Kipini are very frustrated and they would like to join forces with the people of Lamu, share the future and common goals together. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, likewise, when the people of Kipini want to report a matter to the police or access medical services and other services, they have to travel to Lamu District. So, we would like the Government to correct this matter and move Kipini to Lamu District. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
