• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we are reading the same Constitution. The Senator who is also a Senior Counsel has read that part which he says is on delimitation.

• 29 Apr 2021 in Senate: If I read Article 89(7) as requested, it states that- “In reviewing the constituencies and ward boundaries, the Commission shall- (a) consult interested parties; and, (b) progressively work towards ensuring that the number of inhabitants in each constituency and ward is nearly or equal to as the population quota. view
