IEBC should assist minority communities like the Cherangany also called Sengwer to live like other sectors of society as Kenya is a tribal state which is a fact.When will these people ever get to parliament if international best practices are not employed by the IEBC? The best optional mechanism to assist minority representation: Is the use of Single-Member District. In this case IEBC to create CHERANGANY DISTRICT as earlier requested with maps.As an issue; in order to ensure minority representation, the LUND International Guidelines and Recommendation sets a solution target thus: That For Strong Minority Representativen ess; Electoral District boundaries should be drawn such that constituents have an opportunity to elect candidates who they feel truly represent them.This usually means that District boundaries should coincide with communities of interest as much as possible- The LUND international Guidelines and Recommendation instrument as a solution mechanism.In order to mitigate on identity-based factors based on differences in culture and language or ethnicity with perceived imbalance in the distribution of economic,politi cal and social resources; Democratic structures both legislative by creating SENGWER CONSTITUENCY and administrative area can offer an effective means for the peaceful handling of Deep-Rooted conflict by use of international best practices to save on Human Rights Issues. As an arising issue on the communities of interest factor as communities of interest can be defined in various ways and would include"administrative divisions,ethni c or cultural neighborhoods or natural communities delineated by physical boundaries(such as islands,forests etc.)" The LUND. This definition fits the Cherangany Community's case perfectly in order to mitigate on the Subsumed Voting power that hinder minority representation and further save on Deep-Rooted armed Conflict which is not a secret to Kenyans, IEBC to assist in the creation of the two requested structures: Electoral and Administrative as requested above.

The work of IEBC should be objective and the product should facilitate better administrative operation of the delimited areas. In the case of my Nandi County for Example it is not logical for Alsai which is the most populous to remain as one constituency while other less populous constituencies are split into two. For equitability it is more logical to harmonise accross board. I propose Chemase ward can become part of Aldai, while Kiptuya and Kaboi wards are taken up by Emgwen south. At the same time Emgwen ward should be hived off from Nandi hills constituency to Tindiret Constituency.In my opinion the issue here should be about harmonizing the county rather than splitting individual constituencies into two - this will facilitate equal representation as well as make it easy for anyone wanting to traverse the constituency.

The proposed electoral Wards in Gatundu North are not a reflection of anything serious. Thank you IEBC for giving us this opportunity.
Kindly effect the following;
1. Karure sub-location to be taken back to Mang'u Ward hence Mang'u ward has Mang'u, Gatukuyu, Miteero, Karure, Nyamang'ara, Mukurwe a total population of 29,013.
2. Makwa goes back to Chania Ward, so Chania conprises of Ngorongo, Makwa, Nguna, Kairi, Muirigo, Kamwangi sublocations with a population of 27,528 people.
3. Ngorongo goes back to Chania and not to Gituamba. Gituamba to comprise of Mataara, Gituamba, Kiriko, Kanyoni, Maria-ini sub-location with a total population of 19,684.
4. Ndiko goes back to Githobokoni which will comprise of Njahi, Gakoe, Kieni, Mwimuto, Gathaite, Gatei, Ndiko, Gachege and Kamunyaka sublocations with a total population of 26,386 people.
5. Our historic original names for the wards to be preserved, ie, Chania instead of Kamwangi, Githobikoni instead of Gathaite.
That way, geographical features that seperate Wards will still be respected, like the Chania river seperting the Makwa and Mang'u, Ndarugu river seperating Mang'u and Githobokoni.
The population threashold by the IEBC will also have been observed.

I am a resident of Ilengi Market polling station 065/080 and welcome the creation of a new constituency in Kitui, however, i would like to propose that some polling stations in Kitui South be included in the new Kitui Rural Constituency due to the vastness of Kitui South. The proposed constituecies to be moved are 065/079 - Muambani, 065/080 - Ilengi, 065/081 - Katilini, 065/082 - Monguni, 065/083 - Yongo, and 065,084 - Mbui-ndune. These are my sentiments and they are also the sentiments of majority of the people in these areas as i have traversed the region and interacted with the people having worked as a head clerk during voter registration and register inspection in 2010.

I wonder why the IEBC says they cannot modify County boundaries.Arent they electoral boundaries by virtue of the fact that we are electing senators and governors based on these boundaries.
The residents of Mtwapa are of the opinion that kikambala division should be moved to the county of Mombasa.The vast majority of residents work in Mombasa and are physically culturally and economically linked to Mombasa rather than Kilifi,whose county council collects 60%of its revenue there but is responsible for the infrastructural mess and lack of services.Move us to Mombasa city.
