It was supposed to come up with structures that were required in every county that would support devolution. It would copy the way leadership at the central government then was; we had Parliament, Office of the President, State House and so on. That time, the current President was the Minister for Finance. He allocated Kshs150 million for that work. Teams were formed to visit every county in the whole Republic and they were supposed to do a master plan and cite where the county headquarters were supposed to be. A budget for auditing infrastructure, county and municipal council headquarters and ranking the counties according to their needs was drawn. Nyandarua was the first one followed by Tharaka-Nithi, Tana River, Elgeyo- Marakwet and many others. West Pokot was at position 12. The list went up to number 47. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, some counties such as Nyeri were already blessed and had substantial structures which would be acquired and utilized for the county assemblies. Some money was supposed to be utilized to re-orient the houses to take shape of what was to come. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the Chambers for the National Assembly and the Senate, a drawing of the same for the counties but of a smaller version was done in the counties."
