• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I am sorry, Madam Temporary Speaker. That is the problem of moving too many times. Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to move that The County Boundaries Bill (Senate Bills No.20 of 2021) be now read a Second Time. Under Article 188 of the Constitution, the jurisdiction of altering boundaries lies squarely with Parliament, the National Assembly and Senate. I am not quite sure in the times that we have done this Bill why the National Assembly has found that this is a money Bill. The reason I say so is because Article 188 speaks county boundaries. That is straightforward. What ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: I have framed from Clauses 7 to 17 on how a committee will be formed, what it will look at; how a matter will be resolved and how the mediation committee will be dissolved. Clause 4 of the Bill is on alteration of county boundaries. This is where Article 188 of the Constitution falls. If a person from any county seeks to alter their boundaries, Clause 18 stipulates what should be done. It is important that I highlight this because it is the heart of the Bill. The petition is then launched in the similar fashion as the petition that ... view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: When Sen. Sakaja raised an issue with the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) - it was a proposal - somebody thought that you could remove Nairobi as a county. How could he have done so? You cannot do so because the framers of the Constitution never imagined that if you do not like Nairobi, you can remove it. Sen. Murkomen has been saying that if you do not like the Governor, remove him or her and put another administration. It was never contemplated. Similarly, you cannot shift a county. If you think that a county like Lamu is small, you merge ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: That is the commission, but I was trying to remember the name of the chief commissioner, who was in charge of boundaries. I do not know whether I can remember his name now. I think it is Yusuf. He brought all these documents to me. I have them in the office. They are beautiful documents about how we moved from 111 constituencies and how people were moved from one place to the other. This commission was useful. It went to every corner of Kenya. It was the precursor of the 1992 law. The 1992 law is unique. It is the ... view
• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, when I met him when I started my work as a Senator, I asked him: ‘Now that you put Mombasa Road as the boundary between Machakos and Makueni, when the Government does a new road, as they have done with the expressway, does the boundary shift?’ view

• 13 Oct 2021 in Senate: You will recall that I asked a similar question when we had a problem between Kajiado and Makueni. I said that we have a new Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). People argued that the old boundary was the old railway line or the road. Now that there is a new railway line, has the boundary shifted? No! view
