us. I am really proud that a county like Isiolo managed to receive an increase of Kshs560 million which is an achievement. I know that the increase of the revenue to 35 per cent for us might not be that high but currently we are not losing any revenue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have an issue with Article 203, which we presented as PPG and the rest of the counties that are affected. That is especially the seven counties. This is a formula that was introduced in support of the ideologies that were raised here of one man one shilling. ...

The Committee also made a recommendation that if any county will be affected as a result of that provision, the Government should cushion it. If that happens and some counties end up losing revenue allocation, devolution in most of our counties will be affected.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last formula, I remember that the issue of land mass was not looked at properly. You cannot focus on population only and leave out land. Some of us have vast land where you travel over 300 kilometers to get service delivery. It also affects budgetary allocation, and that should have been considered. Unfortunately, in the last revenue allocation, it was not considered, and it is something that we need to look at in future.

During the population census, some counties like Isiolo had a lot of issues, especially on matters concerning boundary disputes. Over the years, we have been fighting with our neighbours just because of interference with the boundaries. This affected the census in 2019, because some individuals were counted in the neighbouring counties or in areas that had contestations. We lost a lot. We have presented this matter to the Government to try and solve issues of boundary disputes that are affecting the population. I remember that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. came up with a Bill to look at boundary issues, but ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, another issue I want to contribute on is the matter of constituencies. We have discussed this matter at lengthy, severally. We have even made presentations. There are some counties that are left out in as far as allocation of those constituencies is concerned. For example, if I may refer to Isiolo North. Looking at the figures that we have, we should have had an extra constituency in Isiolo North, but that was left out. We have to look at the issue of constituencies critically. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) raised a lot of concern. We ...

most of our counties that are left out. I appeal to the relevant authorities that something needs to be done as far as constituencies are concerned. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with that, I wish to support the Bill. There is a very big document of the recommendations of the Committee. The Committee made very many important recommendations. I hope that the recommendations will be implemented when this Bill is passed by this House and during the referendum. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to join you in congratulating and welcoming Sen. Abdulkadir Haji to the Senate. I am really delighted and grateful for this final conclusion which is swearing in of Sen. Abdulkadir Haji. I am saying so because I served with the late Sen. Haji in the previous Senate as his Vice- Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. He used to sit where the Senate Majority Leader is currently sitting.
