    "content": "In Mandera South, the issue was request for an extra ward and the placement of Wagadud Ward and the name of the constituency. We recommend Wagadud Ward from Mandera North Constituency to be moved to Mandera South. IEBC should also rename Mandera South as Mandera Central and also align the district administration. In Mandera North, there were 500 petitioners who had signed one document. The issue was that Wagadud Division to move out of Mandera North. Guticha Ward is too large and we are recommending that IEBC should move Wagadud Ward and Division to Mandera Central. IEBC should also reorganize the wards as follows: We have set out the way it should be. In Banisa Constituency, we also received the request for reorganization and creation of Gurba Ward and the key issue was community of interest as a basis for that request. We are recommending the IEBC to reorganize the wards. We have given a proposal on how they should be realigned. In Mandera East, there was a request for reorganization of wards and the key issue was the Kona tribe which has been marginalized is requesting fair and equitable representation. Regarding the boundary between Mandera East and Fafi, we recommend that IEBC create an additional ward in Mandera East and reorganize the wards as we have listed there. They should also give priority to creating an extra ward in Mandera East for the Kona tribe. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Nairobi City, in Dagoretti Constituency, the issue was naming the sub-divided Dagoretti Constituency. The proposal is that it should be named Dagoretti South and Dagoretti North. There is also a proposal on how the wards in the two constituencies should be reconstituted. We are recommending that IEBC should remain consistent in line with the request which was publicly asked for. IEBC should also realign the wards as proposed by the petitioners. In Kamukunji and Embakasi, the request was to split into two proposed Kariobangi South Ward which merges the current Uhuru Ward and Kariobangi South Ward. We are recommending that IEBC should split and create an additional one as proposed. In Mihang’o and Kasarani, there was a request about the way Nairobi should be divided but we did not carry it because we thought it was overtaken by events. In Embakasi North, there was a request to rename Dandora III Ward to Dandora Area III and IV Wards. We recommend that IEBC should check if Dandora IV is within Dandora III and if so, they name the ward as requested."
