    "content": "I, Onesmus Njuki, on behalf of the residents of Chuka/Igambang’ombe Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, to ensure effective co-ordination of national Government functions and services at the sub-county level, there is need to have well defined geographical and administrative units. THAT, this objective was not realised in delineation and demarcation of boundaries for Karingani Location, which currently exists in Chuka Division and has a population of 18,194 people within an area of 72.5 square kilometres. THAT, currently, Karingani Location hosts Chuka University, a public university with a population of 12,000 people, which is increasing with every year’s enrolment of students coupled with a business community settling in the area, all of which have led to a steady rise in population in that area. THAT, the current headquarters of Karingani Location, which is Kaanua Market, is far from upcoming markets, thus posing an administrative challenge to the area chief, who is occasionally overwhelmed by workload of co-ordinating activities in the area. THAT, the requests to address this matter by the residents of Karingani area through organs of the national Government have not been considered while the situation continues to hamper and complicate delivery of administrative services to the area residents. THAT, the issue in respect of which this Petition is made is not pending before any court of law, constitutional or statutory body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, intervenes in this matter to cause creation of a new administrative unit in Karingani area to permanently resolve this anomaly. Your petitioners will ever pray. I will table the Petition together with the signatures therein. Thank you for the opportunity."
