    "content": "I noticed, of course, that he left out Number 14, Embu, when he was reading, and I hope that that is going to come out in the amendment so that Embu is not left out and so that Embu has its capital town in Embu Town. Mr. Speaker, Sir, like Sen. (Dr.) Machage has said, this is a clear and straightforward Bill that must be applauded and, in my view, supported because of the clarity. But there is a point that Sen, (Dr.) Machage made that again needs to be underlined. He talked about sub-counties or what we used to call districts. Again, in each of the sub-counties, we have the seat of the Assistant County Commissioner. The person with the power to designate any town is the Governor, but he or she has to consult with the county assembly. I think, again, it is important that we impress upon the county assemblies because now that cannot be our function. I do not believe that can be our function; it has to be the function of the county assembly to make a law that then defines what the headquarters of each sub-county or what we used to call districts are so that, again, there is absolutely no confusion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and support very strongly this Bill because it is going to reduce and remove confusion once and for all. But I only want to indicate that we must name the centre within which the Governor will be seated, unless and until the law is changed. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
