One of the reasons why I am a Member of Parliament is that there is a certain constituency and boundary. There is also the culture of ferrying voters from one constituency to another. I saw it last night on television. People within a constituency will either love or hate you. You do not need to ferry people from Nairobi or Mombasa. The people in your constituency must vote for you. If they are Luhya, they will vote for you. If they happen to be Somali, you just need to talk their language, and they will vote for you. In an urban centre like Nairobi, there should be no problem. However, if you ferry people from Nairobi County to Kiharu Constituency in Murang’a County, or you ferry people from Murang’a County to Kasipul Kabondo Constituency, that is not democracy. What happens if you win? You will be dealing with ghost voters because those people will go back to where they came from. Last night I saw a serious war in Kasarani Constituency. As politicians, let us encourage members of our constituencies who have attained the age of 18 years to vote where they are. They should not agree to be transported to other areas. With those many remarks, I beg to move and ask the able Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands to second."}
