"content": "should not claim that Maseno belongs to this or that county. Busia Town is found on the border between Kenya and Uganda. Boundaries are just for purposes of taxation and immigration. However, in real sense, people around there, live together as one community. A danger may come very soon when we politicise the issue of boundaries. If that happens, we will be headed to the wrong direction. The Constitution presumes that boundaries are already known. Article 6(1) of the Constitution states that:- “The territory of Kenya is divided into the counties specified in the First Schedule.” That First Schedule is thereby not accident. It is as a result of a legislation which defined where the boundaries of counties, which were then districts when they were demarcated. Therefore, I plead that we should make the issue of boundaries as a basis of bringing us together, but not dividing us. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
