The previous clause 32 in the IEBC Act, section 36, provided for a transition in the first review. This is the first review of boundaries and constituencies. Therefore, the minimum that was supposed to be done is to delete the section because it is not necessary. But what does the National Assembly do? The National Assembly introduces 11 clauses about how the limitation of boundaries will be done under Article 89 of the Constitution, who will do it, who will present the report, how the interim report will be done. In clause 36 (5), they say the Parliamentary Committee shall within fourteen days on receipt of the revised report table the report to the national Assembly for recommendations. Under clause 7, the National Assembly shall within fourteen days of the tabling of the report, consider the report and forward the recommendations to the commission. Within fourteen days of the expiry of the period provided under clause 7, the commission shall upon the receipt and considerations of the National Assembly and the representation from the public prepare a report for publication in the Kenya Gazette. Clause 9, where the National Assembly fails to make recommendations within the periods specified, the commission shall publish the report in clause 8. Mr. Chairman, Sir, if you look at Article 89, this is the second review of boundaries. The other review would be after a period of eight or 12 years. Sen.
