    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have a Petition from the residents of Kibwezi East Constituency on the relocation of sub-county headquarters. I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of Kibwezi East Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, administration units, in particular the sub-counties, are important in the delivery of various services required by residents, including issuance of National Identification Cards and offering security services; THAT, Section 15 of the National Government Coordination Act requires that sub- counties be headed by Deputy County Commissioners, who are to be based within the sub- county for effective service delivery; THAT, currently the headquarters of Kibwezi East sub-county is located in the neighbouring Kibwezi Town; THAT, residents of Kibwezi East sub-county are disadvantaged since they have to travel long distances to access services at the sub-county offices; THAT, several consultative meetings between leaders and residents of Kibwezi East Constituency have been held and resolved that Kambu Town is the most ideal location to host the sub-county headquarters; THAT, Kambu Town has sufficient Government buildings and adequate office space, vacant and available for use including CDF offices under construction which can be used to host sub-county administration offices and offer Government services; THAT, petitioners have lodged several appeals to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government regarding the matter but their efforts to resolve the matter have been futile. THAT, multiple follow-ups by the residents have not received any redress to date. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
