The Senate Majority Leader is right that I value this Bill so much. I rise to support it. Our country is made up of ethnically divided boundaries. The reason I support this Bill is that it seeks to set up a legal framework to define boundaries and settle boundary disputes. I was looking at all the existing disputes and they are quite a lot. I noted Uasin Gishu County and Elgeyo-Marakwet County, where the Senate Majority Leader comes from; Kajiado County and Makueni County; Kisumu County and Vihiga County, who are fighting over Maseno University; Narok County and Nakuru County, where we fight quite often; and, Narok County and Migori County. There are quite a lot of these issues which this Bill will seek to settle. The issue of land is very emotive. Therefore, I support the idea of having a Commission different from the IEBC that is not permanent and constituted by an Act of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."}
