Sen. M. Kajwang’, it will benefit our colleagues to know that because of the mediation committee some of ... view
• 5 Mar 2024 in Senate: separates them is not extremely difficult to the point that the mediation committee as set up in this Bill may not resolve. This is a wise move and a good proposal to have a mediation committee, so that we do not have to fix everything. It would be impossible to imagine that we could get to a point where we would draw the boundaries accurately so there would be no conflict. So long as you are neighbours, you will always disagree about boundaries. Those of us who come from densely populated communities, I do not know anybody who has a ... view

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am told they all originate from the ... view
