    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I also join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Khalwale for coming up with this Bill so that proper address and location of county headquarters are known by law. I recall that at the beginning of the year, 2011, the then Ministry of Public Works, where I and Sen. Obure worked together, came up with a similar version, with the blessing of the national Government. The identity of the county headquarters was supposed to be done for which two things would be done. The county assembly premises of every county were supposed to be built by the national Government in preparation for a time when there would be county assemblies in place. There were also supposed to be a county headquarters where the Governors would sit and his Executive. This was supposed to be done by the national Government. The national officials in the Ministry of Housing and Public Works were supposed to drive this. The idea behind that was that we needed to have a county assembly that was a mini version of the Parliament that is here in Nairobi. Today, if you go to all our counties, you will see different versions and shapes of the county assemblies because we did not do what we were supposed to have done. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
