    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware. It is rightly stated that Muksero Sub-location is currently in Kisii Central District and borders Konyango Sub-location in Rachuonyo South District. The residents of Muksero and Konyango share a market called Ruga and are both Kisii and Luo. The bordering constituencies are Kitutu Chache and Kasipul Kabondo. A quarter of the population is from the Luo community while three-quarters are from the Kisii community. The Luo community has over the years registered as voters in Kasipul Kabondo Constituency. The issue of administrative boundaries has been long outstanding. However, the mandate of the electoral and administrative boundaries lies solely with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as stipulated in the new Constitution. (b) The issue must be treated with utmost sensitivity, bearing in mind that there must be deliberations at grassroots level between communities involved. The IEBC has the mandate to review boundaries in consultation with all affected."
