    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, I rise to oppose. The reason is that the former President, hon. Kibaki and the former Prime Minister, hon. Raila, actually designed a model county assembly and a model county headquarters for the governor. At that time, it was not clear what we would do for the provincial administration. But, as soon as the Jubilee Government came to power, it brought back the provincial administration that was to be done away with. Counties that had hoped that those structures would be inherited are not different from what is obtaining in Tana River and the other three counties. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have physically gone to Homa Bay, Siaya, Taita Taveta headquarters and many other and actually the governors are operating from makeshift structures. In the other counties, there was the start off fund of Kshs62 million through the Transition Authority (TA), some counties decided to use that money to refurbish the would-be headquarters. All counties require money and the next financial year, let us agree as the Senate and vote money for all the 47 counties. I oppose."
