Forward
The legal framework for elections requires objective drawing of electoral unit boundaries to achieve the principle of equal weight to each vote. To the greatest degree, this principle is aimed at ensuring effective representation and a translation of the will of the electorate into a representative government. It should be noted that the ideal international standards for delimitation is the equality of voting power for each vote so as to provide effective representation. Thus, boundary delimitation by its very nature is intended to produce the result of effective representation.
Ahmed Isaack Hassan, EBS, Chairman

Indeed Article 89(1) of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 states clearly the number of constituencies that are supposed to be in place - maximum of two hundred and ninety (290). Further, the Constitution stipulates the criteria and procedures that need to be applied in the delimitation of boundaries and which notably shall be undertaken at intervals of not less than eight years and not more than twelve years. This has to be completed at least twelve months before a general election. It is therefore worth noting that pursuant to the provisions made in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has been mandated to carry out boundary delimitation of constituencies and wards. But this does not extend into the first review of the boundaries of constituency and wards. It should be acknowledged that the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC) did the first review of boundaries. IIBRC did its work and submitted its report to the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLA) which prepared its report and submitted to Parliament for adoption. According to the Fifth Schedule of the IEBC Act 2011, IEBC is mandated to resolve all issues arising from the first review relating to the delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards and publish its final report within a period of four months of the date of its appointment. It is predetermined that the Commission shall, in addressing the issues arising out of the first review:a) Use as its primary reference material, the report of the former boundaries commission on the first review as adopted by Parliament; and b) Use as its secondary reference material the report of the Parliamentary committee on the report of the former Boundaries Commission. Notably, there were certain issues underscored in the JLA Report and in the discussions by Parliament and the public. Some of the issues cited included: The determination of boundaries on the basis of three types of population quotas instead of one; The use of regions and provinces as units of analysis (yet not provided in the Constitution); The treatment of Cities and urban areas in a similar way (definition of cities not agreed on); The description of boundaries based on wards or sub-locations;
iv

Inconsistency in the division of constituencies where some with large population were not split yet others with less population were split; The creation or alteration of boundaries without taking into account geographical features and community interests; and That there was no public participation.

While recognizing the provisions of the Constitution to redefine boundaries to accommodate other interests in the electoral sphere, it is important to note that any review of constituency boundaries is political in nature and is attached to highly competitive and emotive political issues. This means that it requires clarity and clear criteria and procedure commensurate to the electoral dynamics of the country. There is need for transparency, accuracy, objectivity and patriotism in presentations anticipated towards the process of resolving issues arising from the first review. Similarly, it requires that a middle ground be struck to achieve a win-win-situation. Thus, in line with the IEBC Act, the Commission has prepared this Preliminary Report outlining the proposed delimitation of constituencies and wards and specific geographical and demographic details and hereby avail it to the general public for a period of twenty-one days and invite representations from the public on the proposals hereto. The public presentations and recommendations will be reviewed within fourteen days after receipt and the Commission will submit a revised Report to Parliament for deliberation. Consequently, the Commission will consider the resolutions of Parliament and prepare a Final Report for publication in the Kenya Gazette. We must recognize that achieving the ideal and optimum population quota for our electoral units is not an instant achievement. The First Review and the exercise of addressing issues arising thereof is a process towards addressing gross disparities in the voting populations of different electoral units. It is indeed a step closer towards ensuring that the fundamental principle of the equality of the vote is attained. I therefore urge fellow Kenyans to read and understand the Preliminary Report in order to effectively engage in the process.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1.1. Introduction

The Constitution of Kenya, 2010, Article 89 gives the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) the mandate of creating and delimiting constituencies and wards. This has to be done at intervals of not less than eight and not more than twelve years. Additionally, the Constitution in Article 89 (5) spells out the criteria to be used in boundary delimitation as well as the maximum number of constituencies (Article 89 (1)). The IEBC Act 2011 limits the Commission to resolve issues arising from the first review and to use Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC) Report as its primary reference material and Parliamentary Committee Report as its secondary reference material. The delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards under the Constitution of Kenya Amendment Act 2008, Section 41c was a mandate of the IIBRC which was specifically responsible for: i. making recommendations to parliament on delimitation of constituencies and local authority electoral units and optimal number of constituencies on the basis of equality of votes taking into account a) Density of population and in particular the need to ensure adequate reprsenation of urban and sparsely-populated rural areas; b) Population trends; c) Means of communication; d) Geographical features; and e) Community interests ii. iii. making recommendations to parliament on administrative boundaries, including the fixing, reviewing and variation of boundaries of districts and other units; and the performance of such other function as may be prescribed by Parliament.

The IIBRC did the first review and submitted its report to the Parliamentary Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLA). Following the presentation of the JLA report to Parliament, the IIBRC Report was adopted but there were several outstanding issues raised by the Members of Parliament and the Public. It is as a result of these issues that the IIBRC mandate was widely perceived as not complete, hence the requirement that IEBC addresses issues and concerns emerging from their report.

1.2.

System and Criteria in Delimitation

An appropriate system and criteria require that internationally accepted standards and procedures be used in the boundary delimitation process. The accepted standards have to take into consideration political, economic, social and other factors within a given country. Notwithstanding this, there is need for openness, accuracy, objectivity and patriotism in presentations anticipated towards the process of boundary delimitation. Based on the legal frame work predetermined in the Constitution (2010) and the IEBC Act 2011, the resolution of issues arising from the first review have to be completed in the shortest time possible (in 120 days). This should include proposals made to the public on the 290 Constituencies provided in the constitution. It is important to note that any constituency boundary review process is political in nature and is attached to highly competitive and emotive political issues. This means that, in undertaking to resolve arising issues, it requires clarity, criteria and procedure commensurate to the electoral dynamics of the country. In the case of IEBC resolution of arising issues, the Constitution and the IEBC Act 2011 provide for the criteria and procedures to be followed. Similarly, it requires that a middle ground be reached through a win-win-situation.

1.3.

Objective

The main objective of the Boundary Delimitation: Preliminary Report is to provide information to the public on outstanding issues emerging from the IIBRC Report as well as reactions from the parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs (JLA) Report. This is aimed at eliciting debate on presentations and proposals contained in the JLA Report. The information gathered will be analyzed and used to delimit the required constituencies as stipulated in the Constitution.

1.4.

(viii) Memoranda presented by the Public to the IIBRC during public hearings and visits. 1.5 Boundary Delimitation In Kenya: Historical Perspective The delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards is not a new phenomenon in the Kenyan history. Delimitation of boundaries was started by colonial authorities in 1962 when the Royal Commission was created to go round the country and carry out an inquiry into electoral and administrative boundaries. The Commission held consultations with leaders at different levels including influential tribal leaders and chiefs.

1.6.1

An Over View of Boundary Delimitation in Kenya

The countrys Constitution provided for the delimitation of constituencies so as to facilitate the conduct of elections in independent Kenya (Constitution of Kenya, 1963 Section 40). At that time, the determination of electoral units in Kenya started with creation of 117 Constituencies based on a clearly established principle that all constituencies contain as nearly as possible an equal number of inhabitants. The Constitution provided that no constituency was to form part or more than one administrative unit; or of both the Nairobi area and a region. Towards the delimitation of boundaries, the Commission also took into account the following:
3

a) The population density and in particular, the need to ensure adequate representation of urban and sparsely-populated rural areas; b) The means of communication; c) Geographical features; d) Community of interest; and e) The boundaries of existing administrative areas. 1.6.2 The Constitutional amendments of 1964 and 1966 resulted in the abolition of the seven regional assemblies and the Senate. The House of Representatives was renamed the National Assembly with 158 Parliamentary Constituencies consisting of the initial 117 plus 41 newly created constituencies following the abolition of the senate. In 1986, Parliament raised the number of constituencies from 158 to 188. In 1996, The Electoral Commission of Kenya (established in 1992), reviewed the boundaries and names of constituencies and raised the number from 188 to a maximum of 210 as provided under the previous Constitution. Following the disputed results of the Presidential elections in 2007, a National Dialogue and Recinciliation Accord was signed which provided a road map and made recommendations for the review of the electoral process in Kenya. This led to the establishment of the Independent Review Commission (IREC), popularly known as the Kriegler Commission. The IREC in turn recommended a review of the entire constitutional and legal framework in line with the political and legal aspirations of Kenyans. A major impact of the IREC recommendations was the amendment of Section 41 of the 1963 Constitution by Parliament in 2008, resulting in the disbandment of the ECK and the creation of the Interim Independent Electoral Commission-IIEC (Section 41A), and the Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission-IIBRC (Section 41B). The COK 2010 provides for the IEBC to assume the mandate of the defunct IIBRC as the successor body. a) In this regard, the IEBC has responsibility for the delimitation of constituencies and wards [COK 2010 Article 88 (4) (c)]. b) The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission Act, 2011 provides for the IEBC to resolve all issues relating to the delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards. It further binds the Commission to employ the Report of the IIBRC as its primary reference material [IEBC Act, 2011, Fifth Schedule, Article 1 and 2(1) (a)].

1.6.3

1.6.4

1.6.5

c) The IEBC Act, 2011 also requires that the Report of the Parliamentary Committee on JLA on the former IIBRC be used by IEBC as secondary reference material in resolving issues relating to delimitation of boundaries.

1.6.6

In the light of the foregoing, the Report of the Parliamentary Committee on JLA Report sets the Agenda for the IEBC in completing the outstanding work of the IIBRC. This Interim Report is divided into several chapters: Chapter one presents background information and an overview from a historical perspective on boundary delimitation in Kenya

a)

b) The Legal framework governing the delimitation of boundaries of Constituencies and wards is handled in Chapter Two. c) A review of the IIBRC boundary delimitation Report is presented in Chapter Three; d) Chapter Four outlines criteria used by IIBRC in the first review. e) Chapter Five presents analysis of public presentation, IIBRC Report, emerging issues and IEBC proposals on County basis. f) Lastly, Chapter Six outlines the framework on public presentations and public consultation forums, within 21 days from the date of the publication of this Report.

CHAPTER TWO LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR THE DELIMITATION OF BOUNDARIES 2.0 Introduction Any boundary delimitation process has to be guided by a legal frame work. International standards dictate that such a legal framework should determine how constituencies or the electoral units are defined and drawn. The legal framework regulating drawing of boundaries for electoral units is expected to address: a) b) c) d) e) The frequency of such determination; The criteria for such determination; The degree of public participation in the process; The respective roles of the legislature, judiciary and executive in the process; The ultimate authority for the final determination of the electoral units.

The Constitution of Kenya (1963) provided guidance for boundary delimitation. The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Act 2008 mandated IIBRC to make recommendations to Parliament on the delimitation of boundaries for constituencies and local authority electoral units. The Constitution of Kenya 2010 and the IEBC Act 2011, Fifth Schedule provides the criteria for delimitation of constituencies and wards.

2.1

The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment) Act, 2008

The Constitution of Kenya (Amendment Act), 2008 that established IIEC and IIBRC gave the two bodies different mandates. Whereas IIEC was mandated to reform the electoral process, the IIBRC was tasked to:a) Make recommendations to Parliament on the delimitation of constituencies and Local authority electoral units and the optimal number of constituencies on the basis of equality of votes; b) Make recommendations to Parliament on administrative boundaries, including the fixing, reviewing and variation of boundaries of districts and other units; and c) Perform such functions as may be prescribed by Parliament.

2.2

The Constitution of Kenya, 2010.

The promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010 provided for the continuation of the functions of IIBRC in accordance with terms of section 41B and 41C of the former Constitution but was restricted from determining the boundaries of counties established under the new Constitution. The Commission was to:(i) Determine the boundaries of constituencies and wards using the Criteria mentioned in the Constitution (2010);
6

(ii) Observe the requirements of Article 89(2) of the Constitution (2010); and (iii) Ensure that the first review of constituencies undertaken under the new Constitution (2010) shall not result in the loss of a constituency existing on the effective date.

2.3

The Article 89 of the Constitution.

Article 89(1) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 sets the maximum number of constituencies at two hundred and ninety (290). Further, the Constitution stipulates the procedures that need to be applied in the delimitation of boundaries and which notably shall be undertaken at intervals of not less than eight years and not more than twelve years. This has to be completed at least twelve months before a general election. Article 89 (5) of the Constitution stipulates the criteria to be applied in the boundary delimitation process. It provides that the Boundaries of each constituency shall be such that the number of inhabitants in the constituency is as nearly as possible equal to the population quota. The Constitution further provides that this number may be greater or lesser than the population quota only by a margin of: a) not more than forty per cent (40%)for cities and sparsely populated areas; and b) thirty percent (30%) for other areas In determining the number of inhabitants, IEBC is expected to take into account: a) geographical features and urban centres; b) community interest, economic and cultural ties; and c) means of communication. The Commission shall progressively work towards ensuring that the number of inhabitants in each constituency and ward is as nearly as possible equal to the population quota (and in so doing consult all interested parties.) (Article 89 (7) b, IEBC Act Fifth schedule 2(c).

2.4

The Fifth Schedule of the IEBC Act, 2011

The Legal provision regulating the completion by the IEBC of the first review is set out in the Fifth Schedule of the Act. The IEBC is enjoined by the Act to resolve all the issues arising out of the

first review relating to the delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards and publish its final report within the period of four months from the date of its appointment under this Act . The Act lists the issues arising out of the first review as:
a) Re-distribute such wards or administrative units in the affected constituencies as may be appropriate;
7

b) Subject to the Constitution, addressing issues of new constituencies falling outside the population quota as provided for by Article 89(6) of the Constitution, but at the same time ensure that such a process shall (i) Take into account the privisions of Article 89(7)(b) of the Constitution that requires progressive efforts and not instant demographic equality of all towards attaining the population quota in each constituency and ward for the purposes of the first review; (ii) Not be subject to new definitions of urban areas, cities or sparsely populated areas or to new population figures; (iii) Be subject to the use of enumerated national census figures and not projected figures. c) Addressing the issues of progressively advancing towards the population quota in protected constituencies in relation to neighbouring constituencies where appropriate. In addressing the issues arising out of the first review, IEBC is restricted by the IEBC Act, 2011, Fifth Schedule Article 2(1) to:a) Use as its primary reference material, the report of the former boundaries commission (IIBRC) on the first review as adopted by Parliament; and b) Use as its secondary reference material the report of the Parliamentary Committee on the Report of the former Boundaries Commission (IIBRC). Pursuant to the provisions of the IEBC Act the Commission shall: i. ii. iii. iv. v. prepare and publish a preliminary report outlining the proposed delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards, outlining specific geographical and demographical details ; avail the report to the general public for a period of twenty-one days and invite representations from the public on the proposals; review the public representations received within fourteen days after receipt of recommendations; forward the revised report to Parliament; and consider views received from the national assembly and revise accordingly before final print for publication in the Kenya Gazette.

3.6.

Review of IEBC Boundaries Report

Article 89(10) of the Constitution and paragraph 4 of the Fifth Schedule of the IEBC Act, 2011 provides for any person dissatisfied with the outcome of the Final Report of the Commission on Boundaries Delimitation to apply to the High Court for review of the Commission decision. An application for the review of a decision made under this Article (Article 89 of the Constitution) shall be filed within thirty days of the publication of the decision in
8

the Gazette and shall be heard and determined within three months of the date on which it is filed.

2.5

Public Sensitization

The principle of public participation and involvement is a running thread in the Constitution and the Commission is required by the IEBC Act to observe the principle of public participation and consultation with stakeholders in its processes. Paragraph 6 of the Fifth Schedule of the IEBC Act requires the Commission to conduct public sensitization on the proposed boundaries for a period of thirty days.

CHAPTER III REVIEW OF INTERIM INDEPENDENT BOUNDARIES REVIEW COMMISSION REPORT 3.0 Introduction

The Interim Independent Boundaries Review Commission (IIBRC) presented a report titled Delimitation of Constituencies and Recommendations on Local Authority Electoral Units and Administrative Boundaries for Districts and other Units addressed to the President, the Prime Minister and the Speaker of the National Assembly dated 27th November, 2010. After the Report was presented to the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs and Parliament it elicited intense public debate. Some Kenyans were in support of the Report while others were opposed to the recommendations in the Report. However, not all Kenyans had a chance to read the IIBRC report and make their own views known. 3.1 Consultations with Stakeholders and the Public

From the Report it is evident that IIBRC held consultations and Public Hearings with stakeholders throughout the country as per its mandate. This was done between 1st February and 14th May, 2010. A total of one hundred and seventy (170) out of two hundred and ten (210) MPs and leaders attended the public hearingsThe hearings were characterized by oral and written Submissions. After 14th May 2010, the IIBRC continued to receive memoranda and held hearings with interested parties. Eight Provincial visits were held during which thousands of people were sensitized on the process. This was followed by one hundred and six (106) public hearings in which 20,726 attended and. 2,646 persons gave oral submissions to the Commission. 3.2 Determination of Constituencies by the IIBRC

In embarking on the delimitation process IIBRC was guided by the provisions in the Constitution of Kenya 2010, Article 89 and the 2009 Census data. IIBRC calculated the population quota based on a definition provided in Article 89(12) of the Constitution (2010). 1. National population = 38,610,097

Popultion Quota = 38,610,097 = 133,138.26 290 40% greater than population quota for cities = 186,393.6

Nairobi being the only legal city, the population of Nairobi subjected to its population quota as follows: (40% x 133,138) + 133,138) = 186,393 2. Subjecting the population of Nairobi to the population quota for cities then: = (3,138,369/186,393) = 17 Constituencies 3. Subtracting the population of Nairobi from the national population: = (38,610.097 3,138,369) = 35,471,728 4. Subtracting the 17 constituencies given to Nairobi from the 290 Constituencies: = (290-17) = 273 5. Dividing the remaining population by remaining Constituencies = (35,471,728/273) = 129,933 6. Subjecting the remaining provinces to this quota: = Province Population (X)/129,933 7. This gives a total of 291 constituencies. The allocation of constituencies in the Rift Valley was reduced by 1 because of its large number of constituencies.

CHAPTER IV PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS, IIBRC PROPOSALS AND EMERGING ISSUES 5.0 Introduction

The methodology of particular emphasis IIBRC employed in the first review relating to the delimitation of boundaries of constituencies and wards - was public hearings. This was like a tool that both facilitated consultation on its mandate and for gathering and compiling relevant information from the general public on matters of concern. The public hearings promoted advocacy, awareness-raising and building consensus on the electoral reform process. In particular, the public hearings afforded the IIBRC unrivalled opportunity on a nation-wide scale to engage in public information, civic education and receiving public views on issues related to its mandate. The objectives, procedures and principles guiding the public hearings were determined and published beforehand. To ensure maximum benefit of the public hearings to the delivery of its mandate, IIBRC formulated a checklist of documents and materials, provided for rapportuers briefing notes and terms of reference, and used verbatim audio-visual recordings of all the proceedings. It is through the public hearings that several issues concerning boundary delimitation were presented to IIBRC. Based on such issues and the requirements of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, IIBRC developed a Report Delimitation of Constituencies and Recommendations on Local Authority Electoral Units and Administrative Boundaries for Districts and other Units- that had proposals and maps indicating 80 new constituencies. However, the proposals presented in the Report elicited several reactions from county to county.

5.1

General Views on the IIBRC Report

The delimitation process and criteria adopted by IIBRC has been subjected to debate with remarks pitted against the proposed constituencies. Some critics fault the formula applied and the resulting inequities. Other critics of the Report have cited lack of adequate consultation between IIBRC and the Kenyan public as the cause of their contest. A Report from the Parliamentary Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs that was presented to parliament notably underscored several issues. Some of the issues cited included: (i) The determination of boundaries on the basis of three types of population quotas instead of one; (ii) The use of regions and provinces as units of analysis (yet not provided in the Constitution); (iii) The treatment of Cities and urban areas in a similar way (definition of cities not agreed on); (iv) The description of boundaries based on wards or sub-locations; (v) Inconsistency in the division of constituencies where some with large population were not split yet others with less population were split;

21

(vi) The creation or alteration of boundaries without taking into account geographical features and community interests; (vii) There was nullification census results in eight (8) constituencies yet no clarity on their delineation was stipulated; and (viii) Lastly, that there was no public participation. Latently, the argument brought forth was that the proposals on which each scenario that was used or applied in the delimiting of boundaries by IIBRC were never considered. Some experts on demographic issues have analyzed the IIBRC Report and noted that population limits are too tight to accommodate the wide variations in constituencies. A number of inconsistencies emerge with regard to constituencies /legal limits and interpretation of the legal population limits; variations of constituencies in population and area; special consideration for sparsely populated areas and qualitative factors such as geographical features and socio-economic factors. In arriving at its review and variation of boundaries, it appeared that the IIBRC had not undertaken consultations as required by the constitution (evidenced by the elicited intense public reaction following the gazettment of the boundaries). However, whether there was public consultation or not, there are several documented evidences that indicate that there were public hearings that took place across the country. Similarly, there are memorandums through which the public presented their suggestions and opinions. 4.2 Public Views, IIBRC Proposals on Constituency Boundaries and Emerging Issues 4.2.1 Nairobi County (i) Public Presentations and IIBRC Proposals on constituency boundaries

(iii)

Emerging Issues (Acording to the JLA Report)

It emerged that the use of the population Quota and other parameters has given this county the appropriate number of constituencies that is, 17. The Community of interest, Historical, Economical and cultural ties were closely scrutinized. More so, the names of some wards and boundaries need to be changed or preserved to upload community wishes. As concerns Dagoretti Constituency, it emerged that:(i) since Nairobi is highly populated, it is under represented and needs an one more addition of constituency; (ii) Not all interested parties were consulted. It was alleged that the residents are opposed to the name Kawangware for the new constituency as it doesnt represent the will of the people and the areas history; (iii) Community of interest, Historical, Economical and Cultural Ties were not observed in the drawing the boundaries; and (iv) That the people also desire to retain Woodley ward in Dagoretti instead of moving it to Kibra Constituency. In relation to Embakasi constituency, it emerged that:The population quota was not well used in the sub-division of the constituency. It also emerged that not all interested parties were consulted. The constituency should have been split into five
28

constituencies using the formula of quota + maximum deviation per constituency; hence giving 186,393 people per constituency, and divide the wards as proposed by the leaders and constituents. 4.2.2 Mombasa County

a) Ijara Constituency It was observed that there was discrimination of small clans. The big clans each have a constituency while small clans have only one between them. There was concern over means of communication with poor road network in the constituency. Further there is a minority group (the Boni and Abdulla) who have no representation. It was claimed that the historical ties of Abdulla community were ignored. It was also observed that the boundary between North Eastern province and Coast province need to be addressed. And lastly, the Geographical features such as a major river running through the constituency was not considered. The population of 92,000 in an area of 11,323 sq Km. should have warranted a extra constituency. b) Fafi Constituency An issue was raised concerning the boundaries between Fafi and Ijara. c) Dujis Constituency An observation was made that IIBRC did not take into account the geographical features in the constituency. Further, the Formula used to come up with protected constituency was
46

termed as unclear. North Eastern Province did not have a protected constituency. Commission did not use all parameters provide in Article 89 of the Constitution. It only applied the population quota.

a) Moyale It emerged that the population figures used to delineate were unreliable. The means of communication in the region is poor and was not taken into consideration in the first review. Lastly, the population deviation used is too low for a sparsely populated area. b) North Horr The constituency is the largest in the country in terms of size but has a population of only 75,596. The means of communication should have been considered in the delimitation. It was alleged that IIBRC failed to define sparsely populated, urban areas and cities. And lastly, the use of projected population in determining boundaries was disputed since at the time of the census most people had migrated to Somalia (sic) to look for pasture.
56

c) Laisamis The expansiveness of the constituency was not taken into consideration. The community of interest was not considered. There were unfair census results that were used to determine the population yet some people were not reached due to poor road network. Lastly, there are insufficient wards in Laisamis and the neighboring constituencies. 4.2.12 Isiolo County (i) Public Views 1.

a) Kitui South

The area is vast and covers 12.544sq.km with a population of 166,050. The Means of communication are poor and this is characterized by a poor road network due to historical neglect and vastness of the area. Based on the Population Quota, the constituency should be categorized as sparsely populated since the population density is 13 people/sq km. b) Mwingi South The Means of communication are poor in the constituency. Consultations with all interested parties were not adequately done. A new constituency, Mwingi Central was created in the middle of Mwingi South, leaving two portions of Mwingi without a means of communication from the rest.

Emerging Issues (Acording to the JLA Report)

a) Makueni Constituency. It emerged that Community of interest, Historical, Economical and cultural ties were not considered in dealing with Makueni Constituency proposals. The proposed boundaries for kibwezi West Constituency and the shifting of Nzauni District to Kibwezi Constituency were created against community wishes and will likely cause disharmony. The National Population Quota was not as used since Makueni with a population of 224,613 and an area of 1,571.90 sq.km, it was not split while other areas with less people were split.

Emerging Issues

a) Kiharu It was alleged that the IBBRC failed to take account of the population, communication and geographical features. Secondly, two wards were transferred to Kagema, which is a protected constituency. The division of the wards weakened Kiharus economic stability and broke cultural ties. A tea factory has been moved to another constituency. The Population quota used for rural areas was not suitable and should have been used for urban areas only. The community was not consulted in moving Muraranda and Gaturi to Mathioya Constituency.

CHAPTER V PROPOSALS ON DELIMTATIONS OF COUNTY ASSEMBLYWARDS 5.0 Introduction

The criteria for delimitation of wards is provided for in Article 89 (5) and (6) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010). Article 89(6) provides that the number of inhabitants of a constituency or Ward may be greater or lesser than the population quota by a margin of not more than (a) forty per cent for cities and sparsely populated areas; and (b) thirty per cent for the other areas. Article 89(12) of the Constitution defines population quota by dividing the number of inhabitants of Kenya with the number of constituencies or wards, as applicable. Article 89(3) of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 provides that the IEBC shall review the number, names and boundaries of wards periodically. The Act requires that the Commission shoulr resolve all issues arising from the IIBRC review. Specifically, the Commission is given the following mandate as regards completion of the first review (a) re-distribution of such wards or administrative units in the affected constituencies as may be appropriate; (b) subject to the Constitution, addressing issues of new constituencies falling outside the population quota as provided for by Article 89(6) of the Constitution but at the same time ensuring that such a process shall (i) take into account the provisions of Article 89(7)(b) of the Constitution that requires progressive efforts and not instant demographic equality of all towards attaining the population quota in each constituency and Ward for the purposes of the first review; (ii) not be subject to new definitions of cities, urban areas and sparsely populated areas or to new population figures; (iii) be subject to the use of enumerated national census figures and not projected figures.

5.1

IEBC Determination of County Assembly Wards

The IEBC has applied a three-step process to determine the number of County Assembly Wards. Under the first step, the Commission determined the total number of wards into which the country shall be divided. In this respect, an upper limit of 1,450 is proposed1. According to the Report of the Task Force on Devolved Government (TFDG), each of the 290 constituencies will have a minimum of 3 and a maximum of 5 wards. The number of wards was determined using the number of constituencies in each County with the primary consideration for equity in representation in the
1

Final Report of the Taskforce on Devolved Government, Volume I

176

County. The TFDG in effect proposed to reduce Ward representatives from the current 3,465 including nominated councillors to about 2,000. The IEBC considers this national limit plausible as it enables a County to effectively fulfil its representation and oversight functions. In computing the number of wards nationally, the IEBC has been guided by the constitutional provision that the number of inhabitants of a constituency or Ward may be greater or lesser than the population quota by a margin of not more than 40 per cent for cities and sparsely populated areas and 30 per cent for the other areas. For the constituency population quota, a figure of 133,138 was determined by the Constitution of Kenya (Total national population divided by the total number of constituencies). In a similar vein, the population quota for the Ward which is 26,628 has been arrived at by dividing the total national population by the total proposed number of wards. The population quota for the Ward obtained using the formula below is consistent with the population quota for the constituency as provided for under the Section 27(1)(b) of the Sixth Schedule of the Constitution of Kenya. National Population as at 2009 Census =38,610,097 = 26,628 Total Number of Wards 1,450

The IEBC obtained the number of wards applicable to each constituency by computing the proportion of the population of the constituency in relation to the total population of the County and multiplying by the number of wards which the County is entitled to. The computation is based on a formula which serves to maintain equality between wards and the number of electors. Total Population of Constituency Total Population of each County X Number of wards allocated each County

Applying the above formula ensures that even the smallest County has the required members of the County Assembly to perform its function. This approach takes cognisance of the inherent inequities in the populations of various counties and the imbalances in each constituency. This is because counties were created by the Constitution without regard to their populations. The approach therefore achieves equity of representation within the County and is therefore preferred by the IEBC. The table below presents the proposed determination of wards by IEBC based on the above approach and deviation from the quota. The proposed county wards are annexed.

CHAPTER VI BOUNDARY DELIMITATION PROPOSALS & WAYFORWARD 6.0 Introduction

The creation of electoral units in Kenya started with the creation of 117 Constituencies in 1963, followed by Constituency reviews in 1966 which then culminated in the creation of 210 Constituencies. The Independence Constitution of Kenya provided key criteria to guide the delimitation process. These criteria guided all the boundary reviews by the ECK and generally remained in place until the Constitutional Amendment of 29th December 2011 under which the criteria that guided the work of the IIBRC were enacted. Notably, the authority and criteria for delimitation of local authority electoral areas has been the same at that of Constituencies.2 With the promulgation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, the IIBRC was mandated to determine the names and boundaries of wards against the criteria provided under the Constitution 3also to generally apply in the delimitation of county wards.

6.1

Methodology applied by the IIBRC

In reviewing constituency and ward boundaries, the Constitution of Kenya 2010 requires the Commission to consult all interested parties.4It is documented that the IIBRC held eight provincial visits and a total 106 public hearings whereof 20,726 attended the public hearings. The objective of the public consultations was to collect views regarding electoral and administrative boundaries. All stakeholders were requested to present to the Commission oral submissions or written submissions either as individuals or groups and the public invited to give presentations through scheduled public hearings in existing constituencies.

6.2

Applicable Framework

Many of the submissions received offered suggestions on delimitation with emphasis on constitutional criterion. Various boundary concerns were brought to the attention of the IIBRC as it emerged that Kenyans were aware of the historical injustices in the delimitation of electoral and administrative boundaries of Kenya. In consideration of the criteria under Article 89 of the constitution, public submissions and petitions should be presented within three key limits;
2 3

As provided under the Local Government Act Article 89(5) 4 Article 89(7) of the Constitution

178

a) Community Interests: This relating to the historical, political, economic and cultural conflicts existing in various parts of the country. As such areas of economic interest to the community and the existence of a favorable economic infrastructure (schools; hospitals; market centers); presence of harmonious co-existence between communities and political stability that also protects the rights of minorities and marginalized communities posit as boundary concerns. b) Geographical Features: For purposes of delimitation focus is on patterns of human settlement; land use and road networks and land cover for communications (TV; mobile telephony).Also inclusive of equities in resource allocation, natural and water resources and national security. c) Communication Protocol: Means of communication also considers roads networks, telecommunications (mobile and radio telephony) and postal and courier services. All submissions should focus thereof on access to these services and infrastructure and the Commission in retrospect shall take into account views of the communities affected.

6.3

Work Plan

The workplan for the delimitation exercise is developed on the basis of the mandate provided under the fifth schedule to the IEBC Act 2011. i. Collection, Analysis and presentation of data Information and data collected having been interpreted and legally analyzed informs the delimitation exercise. This involves collection and analysis of population data based on the constitutional provisions. Literature review undertaken not only covers the relevant documents cited under the IEBC Act but also covers maps and archival data on boundaries and boundary delimitation in Kenya, including best practices. ii. Field Visits Public hearings provide a tool for gathering and compiling relevant information from the general public on matters of concern in delimitation. This will also offer immediate feedback on emerging issues on suggestions for boundary variations. Field visits by the IIBRC were organized to sensitise the general public and stakeholders on the mandate and responsibility of the IEBC and providing Kenyans and opportunity to contribute their views. These were structured to clusters of a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 12 constituencies per public hearing based on vicinity of selected constituencies per region and were conducted for a consecutive period of 3months. iii. Memorandum Written submissions-memoranda were presented to the IIBRC by all interested parties, either individuals or groups seeking to have their views equally taken into consideration.
