    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support what has been arrived at in this report. There was a serious gap in the legislation, which did not provide for the area which is designated as county headquarters. For example, the Governor of Kiambu County rose one day and said that Thika was the headquarters of Kiambu County. This was not in the interest of the general population of the county. Majority of the people of Kiambu thought that the headquarters ought to have been at Kiambu Town. So, there was conflict between the Governor, the leadership and the people of Kiambu County. This has occasioned trouble and there has been a lot of acrimony. If we had a law that clearly provided how to establish the headquarters of a county, this would have prevented the problem. This law is timely. It is important. We need to prosecute this to ensure that it goes through, so that we do not go through this problem again."
