"content": "I want you to hear my point! Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there is need to create that threshold, Goralgi and Kora Kora are exactly three or five kilometers from Garissa Town, or even ten kilometers from Garissa - from the municipality of Garissa Town - and they belong to the rural Dujis which is now Balambala. It has got one community interest. You must understand this Mr. Speaker, Sir, and the House here. The idea of carving out a ward from Garissa is designed to disenfranchise and disempower a section of the society. If that would be the need, if he has no problem, he has all his people, there is no way I can go and stand against him in Balambala because that is entirely his own people. I am not saying: “carve it from Fafi because that is the same community; it is the same community interest.” The rules are very simple here! You have to have the community interest. You have to protect a municipality, the Town of Garissa. The Town of Garissa cannot have half of it which is going to become the city of Garissa administered 140 kilometers away. That is the essence of the issues that are there!"
