    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also thank Sen. Khalwale for bringing this Bill. Before I do this, I need to seek a clarification with regard to what we said that laws made by Parliament supersede county government laws. This is a matter that concerns counties and in my view, there is nothing wrong in getting views from the citizens of a particular county on where they want their headquarters to be. I am saying this because recently, Sen. Zani brought a Bill regarding mining. We decided, as a Committee, to go round the country to seek views from the people on how they thought it was best to share the resources found in mining. It is a very important issue and there are some things that need to be considered before we decide where exactly the headquarters should be. For example, in Nakuru, we used to have a municipal council and county council. So, before it is decided that the headquarters will be in a particular place, we need to get views from the citizens of that particular county. Is it wrong to get views of a particular county? It is a very good idea for Sen. Khalwale to come up with this Bill, because we need to know our headquarters, but what is wrong in seeking the views of particular counties?"
