    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. At the same time, I beg to move: THAT,t the Motion be amended by inserting the following words at the end thereof- “subject to the recommital of the schedule to the committee of the whole.” This amendment relates to the debate and discussion we have just had here. For all intents and purposes, the only argument I have heard from my senior, Sen. Amos Wako, is about a past decision, a past speaker, about ambush. The issue of the counties where headquarters do not have any facilities at all; where county assemblies are operating from tents; where the Governor is operating from a prefab---. This issue was before this Senate last year. It is something that is well known countrywide. We are not saying that every other county has perfect headquarters but, at least, in most counties, there are some structures to house the governor and the county assemblies; the former local authority premises. I am pleading with my colleagues, hon. Senators, to kindly help these four counties; Tana River, Lamu, Nyandarua and Tharaka-Nithi. I am begging so that an amount of about Kshs400 million is not too much. I am begging once again that if we intend to give some dignity of Government, indeed, in these counties, that we approve these amendments. I beg to move."
