    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Speech. In the President’s Speech, he praised the enactment of the new Constitution which created 47 counties. Busia County is where I belong. We now have seven constituencies and around 35 wards in Busia County. The people of Busia County are happy with that. They will say thank you to the President for having enabled the creation of all these areas of representation. While creating the seven constituencies, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) took consideration of the contributions of the people of Amagoro. Amagoro is a very expansive constituency. Funyula Constituency is represented by Minister Otuoma, Budalangi Constituency is represented by Mr. Namwamba while Butula Constituency is represented by Mr. Odhiambo. If you combine all these three constituencies, they are equal to my constituency. So, I have been going through hell representing that massive constituency. The creation of another constituency in Amagoro has at least given us relief. That is what I promised my people when I joined Parliament some nine years ago. I said that before I finish my ten years, at least, God would have answered their prayer to get a constituency. As we talk now, we have Teso North and Teso South Constituencies. I hope that the matters pending in court will be resolved very soon, so that everybody is sure that the constituencies that were created are a reality."
