Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Commission should be allowed to operate and we should pass this Motion with a view to revising the boundaries to fit and conform with the economic activities of the said people and the areas which are demarcated by the physical boundaries. In this case, Kirinyaga should be considered. Very soon I will be tabling a Petition by the Kirinyaga Council of Elders. We also have elders, like in many other areas and we have nine clans, although they are supposed to be 10. These 10 clans have already met with the clans of the other neighboring areas and have agreed that the boundary should be changed. Therefore, this Commission is coming at a time when I was almost tabling the Petition. Therefore, I can see that my Petition will go through. I hope it will go through the Committee so that we can have Kirinyaga as a county, remaining the way it has always been, going by the physical boundaries of River Tana, River Rupingazi and the confluence which is known as Riakanau. This is to revert back the area called Mwea Trust Land to Kirinyaga and remove it from Embu and Mbeere. With those few remarks, I beg to support."
