    "content": "the other and the population will be shifted, so that everybody represents an equal number of voters. That is the route. It is good to appreciate the spirit of this new Constitution because that is what is intended to happen at the next review of boundaries. It will no longer be a political process as it has always been the case in the past. It has shifted from there and it is now a mechanical process. Those of you who are expert in those areas, you know how it will happen. You just get the national quarter population as enumerated, hopefully in 2019 and thereafter get the national average. In sparsely populated areas, deviation formula will be 40 per cent below the national average. In densely populated areas like Nairobi County, the deviation will be allowed to be 40 per cent above the national average of the population while in all other areas deviation will only be permitted to the extent of 30 per cent over or below the national average.So, it is a big challenge. I will advise hon. Ndiritu to go the route of a petition because of the residents in the ward that you think are complaining about not getting services, of which I think you have a valid point. The residents of that ward, when they need administrative services, like bursary forms being signed by chiefs, they are signed by chiefs who are in Naivasha Constituency but they will be bringing the forms to Gilgil Constituency, those are some of the things that would be best addressed through a petition as opposed to through this method of approach. I can see that hon. John Kihagi, Member for Naivasha also wants to make some statements. I do not know whether he wants to say he is willing to serve your people. Hon. John Kihagi, what is your intervention?"
