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.
