    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when you say counties, it is unfair for large counties like Kiharu. It should be sub-counties so that constituencies with two or three sub- counties like Kiharu which has two sub-counties is catered for. It is unfair for us who have huge and vast constituencies to share almost equal slots with small constituencies. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the second point I refer to is Clause 25 of the Bill which proposes to amend Section 157(2) of the principal Act to deal with the mischief of persons opting for court martial trial for petty offences that can be tried summarily. I refer you to Section 157(2) which is being proposed to be amended. That section is very fair. It provides: “If an accused opts to be tried by a court-martial, the commanding officer or appropriate superior authority, as the case may be, shall refer the charge to the Director of Military Prosecutions.”"
