The chair said this when he appeared before Parliament's Constitutional
Implantation Oversight Committee.
Chebukati told the Jeremiah Kioni-led committee that the

wait for the 2019 population count.
According to the Constitution, the commission is mandated to
review the boundaries after every 8 years.
