    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know the issue of county boundaries is very close to my heart. The Petition by the people of Kirinyaga was actually determined by the Committee. However, the Committee was of the view that in view of the Bill that emanated from the Committee and recognizing that there was no mechanism for resolving county boundaries under the Constitution, we proposed that the Petition by hon. Karaba should await the Bill that was published. We are aware that this Bill is pending because of some internal issues between the House Business Committees. The direction should be on what we should do with that Bill because the Petition on the question of boundaries cannot be determined until a mechanism is found in the law. Right now, there is no mechanism. Demarcation can be dealt with under other normal processes. Unfortunately, a county boundary is a matter that we cannot deal with. No person can deal with this matter outside the provisions of the law. We know the circumstances under which the Meru- Isiolo issue escalated into warfare. This was simply because of a task force which was appointed outside the law which never resolved the issue. When the Motion was brought here, the contention was that there was no issue. However, when they went on the ground, it ended up with people dying."
