    "content": "THAT, the physical locations specified in the Schedule of the County Governments (Amendment) Bill are currently not urban areas since they are not yet classified as such by the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011. The determination of the physical location of the headquarters of a county government should not only be a preserve of the respective county government, but also the people’s representatives at the national level. The Mediation Committee identified Clauses 2 and 3 as being contentious and agreed on the following:- (1) Clause 2 be amended by inserting the following new definition on “city” and “urban” areas to mean the same as defined under the Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2011. (2) Clause 3 be amended to provide that each of the county government shall be located in the respective physical location set out in the Third Schedule of our Constitution. A county assembly may, by a resolution supported by, at least, two-thirds of the members of the county assembly, and with the approval of Parliament, transfer the headquarters of the county government from the physical location specified in the Third Schedule to such other physical location as it may consider appropriate."
