    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the merits and demerits of this particular case will be spoken to by the respective Senators. However, I want to confirm that this is a matter affecting a number of counties. Unfortunately, past boundary reviews did not consult the local communities. Many a time cartographers, who do not even know where the locations are, draw certain boundaries for people who are not willing to be part of certain places. In fact, it has contributed enormously to the conflicts within our people. We have one case before this House this afternoon which I am sure will be handed over to the relevant Committee. However, it will be important to widen the scope, so that we capture as many counties as possible that have similar issues. We have similar issues even where I come. You may find a particular location that was formerly in a sub- county having been ceded off to another area. Therefore, many people are suffering in silence. It is important that we expand the scope of the investigations, so that we can help the silent voices that have not been helped for many years. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker."
