    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think the policy I was going to read has been summarized by my colleague. It is true that this sub location is not in Rachuonyo but falls in Mosocho Division. Despite the challenges, Luos and Kisiis have coexisted peacefully. Due to intermarriages between the two communities, they have always been engaging one another in dialogue. Majority of the residents are Kisiis. They said that we should pass the new Constitution. These are boundaries between two counties and I have no powers to change the boundaries. Changing of boundaries is provided for under Article 188 of the Constitution of Kenya. It must be recommended by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that was set up by Parliament and it must be passed by the National Assembly with the support of two thirds of all Members. The Senate must also support, at least, with two thirds of its Members. The county assemblies that want to interfere with the boundaries must also pass the same with a two thirds majority."
