    "content": "institutions. It is one of the largest market centers in Kirinyaga and the former Central Province for both livestock and cereals. There is also River Thiba which passes through and can be useful in terms of refuse disposal in case it requires water. Therefore, most people in Kirinyaga would feel comfortable to transact their businesses from Kutus, as the headquarters of Kirinyaga County. The distance between Kerugoya and Kutus is about five kilometers and the road connecting the two towns are all weather and in good state. The other overhead infrastructure like telephone wires and electricity are provided by the relevant companies. Therefore, Kutus has been selected as the centre to be the headquarters. Once the devolved system was enacted, Kutus still remained steadfast. A total of Kshs400 million has been allocated to set up the headquarters in Kutus. Housing schemes have also come up to cater for the rising population of university students and the personnel that will work in the headquarters. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the area is also flat and not rugged like many other headquarters that we have in the country. It has minimum disruption of transport, adequate water supply and so many other factors which are relevant to an urban centre. Therefore, many of the residents of Kirinyaga prefer Kutus to be the headquarters of their county. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move."
