    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that petition is very significant in the view of the challenges that are being experienced in many parts of this country. I know there are some other counties where investigations have been done. However, in view of what some of the Senators have said, the fact that petitions can be brought by an individual Kenyan sometimes not probably with the best intention. I want to suggest that maybe in the committees that we will be looking at this, if they include in their recommendations a process for bringing such a petition, especially the one regarding boundaries, to be a bit more elaborate and not an individual’s petition because the very fact that a petition on boundaries is placed before the Senate, could sometimes trigger some tension in some areas. Maybe in their recommendations, I would want to urge that the committee comes up with the process for initiating this kind of thing from the grassroots, so that their leaders are involved in the process before it comes to the House. Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
