    "content": "You can see the problems that are erupting right now. The Senate Majority Leader has pointed out something that is very key, and I hope that during the Supplementary Estimates, the Government factors in these funds and then in February when this House resumes, we have to look at the other details and the money which is required by the Nakuru County Assembly so that they can also meet in a good assembly. At the moment, they are currently meeting in the former county council hall except that we now have new people in the building. So, we wanted to make it look better. Sometimes too much interference by Government Ministries can lead to stress. Suppose we had allowed the Minister with his team to proceed, we would have gone very far, but we wasted Kshs150 million going round to collect all these data instead of putting it on paper. I had sent for the drawings but now it is too late. I wanted to show you how beautiful they are because the Ministry of Public Works had now to put them in the shelves. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenyans should be very keen. When an idea is brought, we should not always read bad motives in it. We always think of corruption in every little thing that we want to do. Sometimes we must allay these fears and start to implement some of these things. Some of the ideas that Kenyans have come up with do not come to pass because of our general fears and competition amongst us. I think it is time we shelved our ambitions so that ideas like this one can come to pass. If this is done, it should be the first place where the Senate should go and visit. The Senate can even have an inaugural visit to go and do business in one of the county assemblies and maybe these new ones that will be done. I can attest to the fact that Nyandarua County has nothing in place. I want to thank the Mover of the Motion and congratulate him and tell him that we need more of such areas. Some of the Governors do not have offices and we are hoping that they can factor this in their budgets. I support."
