    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am moving this amendment because what is being recommended here is an outcome of a very consultative process that took place in Emuhaya for over three weeks before we met the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC). We had very comprehensive consultations from the sub- locational level through the location, division, the constituency to the district, during which all the people of Emuhaya came up with one common consensus, that in order to have two constituencies, we need to use the historical boundary, which has been known for many years. This historical boundary is the boundary that used to divide the former Luanda Division and Emuhaya Division. This is what was agreed to be the most appropriate boundary for the constituencies of Luanda and Emuhaya. So, this was agreed on and we had more than 10,000 signatures of people from the constituency who approved this boundary. It is a boundary that has a long historical connection. On the issue of wards, it was agreed that we have four wards for Luanda and four wards for Emuhaya. As regards for Luanda, it was agreed that the following wards be approved. These were Luanda Township, South Bunyore, West Bunyore and Central Bunyore. As regards Emuhaya Constituency, it was unanimously agreed that the wards should be North East Bunyore, North Bunyore, Wemilabi and Muyekhe. This is what was agreed. When we went to present our memorandum at Mbale on 23rd January, more than 2,000 people from Emuhaya went to this meeting. The memorandum was read by Prof. Justus Wanje. It was all agreed that this is what the people of Emuhaya would like to have. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Hamisi, Vihiga---"
