    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have the answer yet. But I just want to report that we did get in touch with the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. If you look at the Statement sought, the bigger component of it is about the boundaries and the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government did forward the same to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC). As a Committee, we discussed and resolved to invite the IEBC to come and address a number of issues on boundaries, including a number of other Statements that were sought in this House earlier. The Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government made it clear that in terms of security, the Government has deployed enough security officers and they are on alert, just in case there are other issues arising out of the same. But as a Committee, we have taken the position to invite the IEBC to come and address not only this particular question, but all the other issues. Again, you will remember that our Committee is in the process of finalizing a proposed Bill, pursuant to the Motion raised in this House by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., towards the setting up of an independent commission to review county boundaries. That is something that we are almost done with and it should be going for First Reading. So, as a Committee, we have taken up the matter on those two fronts. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the progress that I have to report on this matter."
