    "content": "As we speak, there is a lot of confusion. Indeed, we need to know who is in charge of the review of administrative boundaries. In the advent of the new Constitution, we have sub-counties as units at the grassroots and yet, we also have constituencies which fall within the sub-county jurisdictions. As we speak, there are sections of certain constituencies which fall in different sub- counties. A case in point is my constituency. I have a whole sub-location that falls in a different jurisdiction – Ugenya Sub-County - whereas my constituency is Ugunja. This is a matter that the Committee should take up with a lot of seriousness and try to look at it holistically rather than dwelling on Embakasi West only. You could find a mechanism of addressing this issue countrywide so that we do not have this confusion. Our people require services and those services can only be assured if the boundaries are clear and there is no ambiguity whatsoever. Thank you."
