"content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me first thank the Rt. hon. Prime Minister for making it clear that this House is for debating issues. We come here to debate issues and not to gag people from speaking. There is no way the Chair can make a ruling if we do not contribute. Therefore, I urge my colleagues to honour this House. Let us give it dignity and let us debate because we come here to debate. I stand here to support this amendment very strongly. We cannot set double standards. We want to remember why we are here. There was a lot of talk on this Report, including some Kenyans going to court to oppose it. We know the judgment highlighted that the whole process was illegal â they did not follow the law. Again, our own professionals, whom we invited, that is, Prof. Oduor and his colleague, showed us all the areas where the law had not been followed. A case in point is Dagoretti Constituency which was ignored and not given an extra constituency and yet those whose areas had low population were given extra constituencies. When I complained bitterly, I was given a constituency called Kawangware. This shows that the Ligale Report is full of areas that need to be relooked at. This is because not everybody was able to put his case forward and get their âKawangwareâ included in this Report. So, by putting part âcâ on page 29, we are just playing games. We are pretending that we are forming a new Commission to correct what was wrong. Here it says: âOutstanding issuesâ. In the next page under part âcâ it states that this Commission cannot do anything. So, how will they sort out the outstanding issues? That should be the question. We should not hide things in this Report. As much as I really want to commend the Committee---"
