    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. This House has heard the name of my county; Kiambu County has come up several times in the course of these contributions of the Mover, Seconder and Sen. Kembi-Gitura. In Kiambu County, we have experienced first-hand what it means to have this confusion; the cost of it and the implications by and large. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this may look like it is a small issue, but it is not a small issue. Since Independence, most of these towns which were then designated to be the headquarters of the counties have grown over a long time. Some of them date as far back as the Independence days of this county; and the import of that is that all along this time, the corresponding services and facilities that support county headquarters and the services it is supposed to offer to the citizens and to members of that county also grew along that county – from hospitals and other offices that support the services in a county – thus moving the county headquarters without proper planning or without that designation has a lot of implications."
