    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I give information, I am still pleading. For counties, numbers and size do not matter. A county can be as small as Lamu or as big as Turkana irrespective of the numbers. However, Article 89 of the Constitution gives the framework for delimitation. The IEBC does not have an open hand there. They say that you have got to look at the population, size and so on and so forth. I just wanted to give my colleague the information that comparing delimitation of counties is not the right comparison. However, now that he has said that he does not mind whichever way it goes, that has now given us the opportunity and space to discuss this thing a little bit informally. I would like to inform Sen. Murkomen that even when we were passing the electoral Bills I had made the same comments. He provoked me to make some comments which have gone viral. I would also like to remind him that when it comes to this debate also, people may say certain things which may not be very good. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us use a bipartisan basis and talk together so that we are informed as to why this Bill is necessary and then we can go into a debate. We cannot even remember when it went though public participation and people have not even seen the report from the Committee. I beg my colleague to give us just a little space to discuss it informally and we will come back to support him on this particular one."
