One of the very insightful decisions that the Senate has made over the years in the course of our duty as representatives to county governments and their interests, is to bequeath the people of Isiolo, Lamu, Nyandarua, Tana River and Tharaka-Nithi, with county headquarters. It was a wise decision by this House that was made after a very deep-heated debate. I was a member of the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget at that time and it was extremely difficult to convince the 47 delegations of this House to set aside some funds from the shareable revenue to county governments for five counties only.
