    "content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter has been with this Senate. This is now the third year, if I recall; so, it is not something that is being crafted now by anybody or imagined. These counties have consistently pleaded with this House because this is the House of equalization and the case has been made. I do not think there is need to waste any time, trying to regurgitate the very compelling reasons that have been given for these four cases. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me make my last plea to honourable Senators. I plead with you, once more as House of equity and equalization, to approve the request for Nyandarua, Tharaka-Nithi, Tana River and Lamu to put up a modest place with the belief that going forward, we will require a comprehensive overview of the entire country so that, going forward, we can continue to equalize the rest of the counties so that each county can have a place where the organs of its government can sit and deliberate on the issues at the local level. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move."
