    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that in both the Ewaso Ng’iro South and Ewaso Ng’iro North boards, there is no board member from Ol Kalou Constituency. But Ewaso Ng’iro South Development Authority covers 18 districts or 18 constituencies and Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority covers 27. As I have said, the Act mandates the Minister to appoint a maximum of 12 board members. So, you will agree with me that there will be no Regional Development Authority that will be able to absorb the board members from all the areas of its jurisdiction. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, Ol Kalou Constituency is very important to both Ewaso Ng’iro South and Ewaso Ng’iro North because of the water reservoir the honorable Member has just mentioned. To really emphasize its importance to these regional development authorities, it is covered by both regional development authorities; Ewaso Ng’iro North Development Authority covering two divisions; Ol Jororok and Ol Kalou and the remaining part of the constituency is covered by Ewaso Ng’iro South Development Authority. But when we were forming these boards, we were taking representatives from the larger districts. One of the board members from Ewaso Ng’iro South Development Authority, a Mr. Dominic Ngotho Mwangi, although he represents Kipipiri as a constituency, but he comes from the larger Nyandarua, where Ol Kalou falls. I would like to assure the honorable Member that even if we do not have a board member specifically from Kipipiri, we are not going to leave Kipipiri without serving wananchi with development projects in that constituency."
