Hon. Deputy Speaker, Mutara will also be a nice place to establish a headquarters but even if we were to establish our headquarters at Mutara, it would require a lot of money. Mutara is bare ground where there is absolutely nothing apart from a few kiosks. That being the case, the cost of doing our headquarters in Mutara would be very expensive. Whereas Nanyuki is on one end of the county, probably putting a county headquarters at the middle will be a good thing. But if you look at that, the opportunity cost of doing that vis a vis the other more urgent needs, we would have to hold that for the time being. If this schedule was to be redone, I would propose that Nanyuki continues to be the headquarters of Laikipia County. In the interest of time and maybe other hon. Members who may want to contribute, I beg to support the Committee’s Report. Thank you."}
