• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: The discussion around the counties was such that if today we, as Kenyans, know that there is indeed no formula in coming up with 47 counties --- I remember that there was a proposal that the eight provinces become counties. When that proposal was given, the first brief that was received was from the military intelligence. They said we were going to court danger and will have one county called North Eastern with an elected governor with all the resources and neighbours. They also said that we will have another county bordering four countries. We will have Rift Valley that ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: happens when a river has changed course? Because of human development, that river is no longer where it used to pass. What happens when you say it was the railway line and now there is a new railway line, or it has been moved? That is a problem we should not be grappling with. I am glad that once we have this framework, we shall now use the technology that we have today. That is Geographic Information System (GIS). The GIS we have today can tell you specifically--- It does geographic referencing of the physical place on earth to Global ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Today, you will find some governors offering services to the same place. We have seen governors building schools in neighbouring counties saying that it is part of their county. I remember officers of the IEBC sat here with us when we were discussing the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) and we exposed them because we brought the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS), the Survey of Kenya and the IEBC. However, the three entities are not sharing information. We were to do delimitation of constituencies but today, there is no one who can tell you the population of any ward because ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Those counties that do not have dispute as of now can be listed. We know that there is no dispute between Kwale and Mombasa counties. Once you cross the ferry and are at the edge of Likoni, then Kwale County begins. Let us get the cartographical maps and illustrations of all of those counties and then we deal with those that have disputes. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: There is a process in Clause 18 of how a member of the public petitions Parliament for the alteration of boundaries. Alteration of boundaries does not have to be a dispute. People can agree and say that for better administration and efficiency, they need to alter their country boundaries. view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: There is a process of petitioning. We have seen many people petitioning this House on this matter. Sadly, any time they come – Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. you have been there - the Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) have one excuse; that Parliament should have set the legislative framework, but we have not done it. Anytime there is an issue and we call CS, Dr. Matiang’i or the CS for Lands, they say that their hands are tied. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) says it is not the one to address that issue until we have a legislative framework. This ... view
