    "content": "Mr. Temporary speaker, Sir, with the new Constitution, we came up with the national Government and counties. Those who crafted the Constitution looked very cleverly at a good way of designating counties and that is the former districts the way they were before the escalation of sub-division of districts to be mini districts. I think that was 1991 when we only had 47 districts which were then named counties. The gist of facilitation of premises where they would operate from, either the headquarters or other facilities like the works offices, was that they would take over those offices which were being used by county, municipal or town councils. Also, facilities of other depots like staff and vehicles. They generally took over everything that was under the local authorities. To that extent, it was generally fairly adequate that counties take over what was in the local authorities and what was in the provincial administration. It was generally adequate for the purpose. However, there were also a number of unique situations where a new county found itself with none of those local authorities or even the provincial administration.
