Why do you think there’s a big push for the creation of new constituencies?
Background
Lawmakers
have approved the creation of 65 new constituencies and recommended that the
Electoral Commission (EC) should immediately confirm them as constituencies.
The
MPs want the EC to conduct elections for Members of Parliament in the new
counties in the 2016 elections but this would see the number of MPs rise from
384 to 425.
The
committee chairperson, Ms Grace Freedom Kwiyucwiny (Zombo), told Parliament
that the current sitting space would not accommodate these large numbers, but
that also there would be considerable cost of administration and facilitation
of MPs in the subsequent financial years.
The
committee also recommended that the ministry of Finance should urgently provide
resources to Parliament to enable it construct a bigger Parliamentary Chamber
that is able to accommodate the large numbers of Members of Parliament.
