    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the amendment.In doing so, I want to give opportunity to those Members of Parliament and members of this country who have not been able to have their interest taken care of in the 60 proposed wards that have been increased. It is interesting in the way I find the Chairman of the Committee trying to oppose the same thing that he is trying to advance in this report. I think by him opposing, he is actually confirming that the increment of the wards that were awarded were specifically for some individuals who were targeted. I thought when a window like this comes, we give bigger opportunity to other Members of this House who have not been able to benefit before. I want to say it is going to be important for us to have the IEBC do the redistribution of the wards. This will remove the suspicion and what hon. Members are feeling that the Members of the Committee are there to reward themselves in the opportunity that we are giving them in this House. I want to say that Kipkelion will benefit in the whole thing and I think I will be doing my people a disservice if I stood here and said that I oppose. The creation of Kapseger Ward in my constituency is the thing that we need to be able to settle down in the new constituency."
