    "content": "other Senators. Since he always insists that I give him undivided attention, I wonder what he is doing looking downwards. I hope he is not looking at the phone instead of me. The fourth paragraph in my communication states as follows:- “I would like to clarify that what Sen. Kiraitu’s Motion is seeking is to have the boundaries as they now stand clearly surveyed, marked and beacons fixed for the avoidance of doubt.” Hon. Senators, already we have some formal boundaries for counties. We borrowed these from the Provinces and Districts Act. That is the law of the Republic of Kenya. I am not altering or changing that until Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr.’s Bill comes. It will be available to you, then you know you will have started another process of challenging that. But for now, I have to live with what I have. Sen. Murungi’s Motion is not seeking to have the boundaries altered as doing so, without the recommendations - and in fact, I have even married it with an independent commission which is what Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is seeking - would violate the provisions of Article 188 of the Constitution. This is a different matter all together. Regardless of any disputes and any proposals that may be made for the alteration of county boundaries, counties remain in existence and have boundaries. This is the point Sen. Khaniri and Sen. (Dr. Machage, were making. Therefore, you are not saying anything that I had not said before. It may be that such a process of surveying and marking would be affected and would be difficult to undertake while disputes exist. We are in agreement on that. But it goes on to the merits of the Motion--- ( Sen. Wetangula spoke off the record ) Order! Sen. Wetangula, your opinion is not final, mine is."
