29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly:
Lastly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to remind this House that the Fifth Schedule, Sub-section 7 says that should the National Assembly fail to make resolutions within the period specified in Paragraph 5; the Commission shall proceed to publish its report in accordance with Sub-paragraph 6.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Minister has repeatedly accused the Committee of acting pursuant to personal interests. This is first and foremost an attempt to impute improper motive to the Members of the Committee. Could he substantiate? I am the Chairperson. Could he substantiate that allegation or withdraw?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this amendment. The amendment goes materially against the report. If it is carried, the same effect would be achieved by the Member by voting against the Motion.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also wish to clarify that the amendment moved by hon. K. Kilonzo is moved along the column of Mutito Constituency. From the format of the Report that we are following, there is clearly one which we have created for Mwingi East and Mwingi West constituencies. If he does this, it will only add confusion to the whole Report. In the column for Mwingi East, we have identified one of the issues as one of the names of the constituencies, and we have asked IEBC to reconsider the names and boundaries of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are some other amendments which have been carried. One of them states that besides the 60 wards which we have already proposed, the remaining ones, about 40 of them, it might be more practical to allow the IEBC itself to consider. We have already allocated this region one ward under the list we have. Our consideration was that the population of Embu was about 57 per cent of the total population of the area. The population of Mbeeere was about 43 per cent of the total population of the area.

So, if the House decides to increase 40 wards and leave it to the discretion of the IEBC, it cannot at the same time go about doing the allocation itself because that will be interfering with the IEBC. I just wanted to guide the hon. Member so that he can contribute accordingly.
