    "content": "country. My constituency was, I think, number four, before we created the new constituencies. It is number four from South Sudan. I border my good friend, hon. Ngikor. We have Turkana Central and the then former Turkana North. Those areas are totally marginalized. Even during colonial times, we used to be managed by some ordinance called “outlying districts” or “special districts.” You could not come to those parts of the country. My good friend hon. Ngikor can actually admit that some of our people would say you could not go to “Kenya” unless you had a pass. My good friend, the Leader of Majority Party, has spoken for most of us and so was the Mover of this Bill. We really want to support this and I want hon. Lati to go a notch higher by making sure that all the parties are involved in mobilization, so that so many of us can vote for this Bill. I want him to start with the party, go to CORD, go to Jubilee and then lobby the hon. Members, so that we can see this amendment through. I know there are those who are benefiting now. We want to plead with them to come to our rescue. If you go to a place like Tiaty, it is close to the famous hot spot - the famous Suguta Valley. Actually, I share Suguta Valley with hon. Ngikor, and hon. Lati, who is the Mover of the Bill. This is one of the places that have been left to the mercy of the rustlers and bandits. I think I have been on record in this House saying that, that is an area that has no Government. But we will try, especially those of us who are here now, to make sure that we have the Government in those particular places. I want to say that a Constitution is not a dead document. It is a living document. When we think of amending it--- Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am being interrupted by my good friend. Why do you not relax bwana ."
