    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. During his presentation, the Assistant Minister mentioned that the Attorney-General gave legal advice. A copy of that, I believe, is what I am holding. The second paragraph on the second page reads: “Whereas under the former Constitution of Kenya, you were required to make recommendations to Parliament in relation to the boundaries of constituencies and wards, under the new Constitution, you are to determine such boundaries. You are, therefore, mandated to gazette your determination. “ The Sixth Schedule, Article 27(i) (b) reads: “The Interim Independent Boundaries Commission (IIBRC) shall determine the boundaries of constituencies and wards using the criteria mentioned in this Constitution.” That was also read to us by the Assistant Minister. The document that was laid on the Table and stamped by the Government Printer, on its third page, contains a schedule dealing with a county, constituency number and constituency name. This document does not talk about boundaries but introduces counties. Now that the Assistant Minister has said that he is satisfied with the work that was done, could he clarify whether this document that was sent to the Government Printers conforms to the requirement of the law, the advice as given by the Attorney-General and as contained in the Constitution that we passed the other day?"
