    "content": " Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, before I withdraw the amendment, I now have the Bill before me and I need your guidance on this. My amendments are informed by Clause 4A of the Bill which says as follows: “4A (1) Delineation of the boundaries of urban areas or cities may be initiated by the Cabinet Secretary or by the relevant county government making a written request to the Cabinet Secretary to appoint an ad hoc committee in a manner provided under subsection (2).” The third part of it says: “(3) The ad hoc committee appointed by the Cabinet Secretary under subsection (2) shall comprise – (a) a representative of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, who shall be the chairperson.” Further, Clause 10(b) gives the power of delineation of boundaries of a market to a county government. So, if you read through the Bill, it is not practical to have the IEBC all over, namely, in markets, urban areas, municipalities up to the cities. So, my understanding was that this representative may not necessarily be a commissioner. Because Members have a feeling that the amendment has to be withdrawn, I beg to withdraw it."
