    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, that famous clip of Sen. Orengo happened on this Floor when we were debating this same issue and Sen. Murkomen is aware of that. We strongly objected it. Maybe Members are not aware that the law was amended in this House to give the mandate of delimitation to the National Assembly. I said it was a mistake to remove this House from delimitation of wards because they are found in the counties. In terms of what Sen. Orengo said, it is important that we look at that law because it is the law now. Once delimitation process is completed, the report will go to the National Assembly and not here. I told Sen. Murkomen that it was a mistake to put the words “National Assembly” as opposed to “Parliament”. His amendment seeks the same thing only that there is a small little caption which has finality. Therefore, I propose that all of us in the team should go round and look at it, so that we do not end up in a quagmire. The issue of Parliament becoming the last resort and that we cannot be questioned was also raised. Although Sen. Murkomen called me about this, there is no problem about the concept. There is just a little thing about the finality of that report which we must look at as a Senate so that we help Sen. Murkomen and the country on the question of delimitation. However, the issue that Sen. Orengo spoke so ably about was a law that we made here without thinking that it was going to haunt us. I thank you."
