    "content": "Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in supporting this important Motion. Honestly, I feel that it is important to guide governors on where the county headquarters should be located. Many of us remember that what used to be called districts were being established by the Office of the President. It is used to generate heat and animosity between the communities without looking at the clearly laid down procedures for establishment which included population, service delivery and infrastructure availability, among others. Therefore, it is important to guide governors and the county communities to understand where these headquarters should be located. If we leave it loose like what it has been in the past, it will give opportunity for unnecessary manipulation to the leaders of the county governments. I say so because looking at the way the leased equipments were being distributed, we are yet to receive them. However, some governors have identified referral facilities that were just next to each other. In vast counties like Wajir County, the main district hospital has been identified. In a radius of 50 kilometers, is another hospital which is yet to receive the equipment. I thank Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and his Mediation Committee for having fully looked into the issue because it will neither give room for manipulation nor unilateral decisions. I support the proposal as suggested. I am sure it will go a long way in helping our communities to live cohesively. Thank you."
