    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I may be allowed to inform the distinguished Senator, one, the Constitution says that the hierarchy of laws is the Constitution; laws passed by Parliament, which is the Senate and the National Assembly and then laws passed by the county assembly. So, the superiority runs in that order. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, it is not the building where the headquarters will be located, but the geographical position in the county that is being talked about. Lastly, the 47 counties were arrived at in looking at the districts that existed as at 1992, regardless. That is why we have Tharaka-Nithi with two constituencies, Nairobi with 17, Kiambu with 12, Bungoma with 9, Kakamega with 13 and so on. It was a capping point and each of those had a headquarters. So, we should not allow a Governor, because he was elected, to arbitrary move that headquarters to wherever he wants. This is what this law is trying to help the country."
