    "content": "the Kenyan people passed the new Constitution, they wanted to determine their destiny. When it came to the creation of the new wards and new constituencies, the public view or comments are very important. Baringo North which is my constituency was given five wards. We had very exhaustive consultations right from the sub-locations, locations to the divisions and subsequently we held a district or constituency consultative meeting. Looking at the various legal requirements set out in the Constitution, we recommended to the IEBC to amend and propose names which were neutral and acceptable to people. We also proposed that they realign the boundaries for our wards. This was done by the people through consensus. When the IEBC produced the report on 9th February, it came as a shock that the people’s view were not taken into account. We made appropriate appeal to the Committee of the House. I am happy to say that the Committee took into account our proposals, we are happy and I support this Motion. The wards in my constituency will read as Bartabwa, Loruk, Saimo Kipsaraman and Kabartonjo. My appeal to the IEBC through the House is that those names as proposed be adopted because they represent the will and the wish of the people of Baringo North."
