"content": "I have a problem with the Sixth Schedule. I want to go back to the sensitive issue of the Sixth Schedule that talks about delimitation. In this Parliamentary Report adopted by this august House, this must come out very clearly, that after the hullaballoo of hon. Ligale, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs sat and listened to all the concerns of the people, including that of my good friend, hon. Chachu. Your concerns are in this report. This report plus the Ligale Report must be the primary source. We are not saying that everything that Ligale did is 100 per cent correct. We are saying that the few concerns, which were mentioned to this Committee, which are in this report, will be used. So, we do not want hon. Members to take us through the acrimony that was seen last time. We do not want that to overshadow the beautiful Bill that will give this country a better management in terms of electoral affairs. Please, for heavenâs sake, let us rise above party politics. Let us rise above ethnic interest. Let us forget about the 2012 political leaders of this country. For the first time, let us listen and reason together. Let us give this country, 80 new constituencies under the law. As I can see now, those who will bring amendments to this Bill, you had a chance to appear before the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. But now the ball game is different. There is a Bill here that has been brought by the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs. We do not want to go back to the murky business of delimitation, or the murky business that my community must get more seats, or murky business of the census. The census belongs to the Ministry of State for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030, not hon. M. Kilonzo. It belongs to those people who conducted it and those who were aggrieved went to court. Those who feel that they have an issue with that, wait for the determination of the court. Leave this Bill alone."
