    "content": "there was contention with different political groupings and sectors of society wishing that the headquarters could fall in places different from those that were designated in the Act. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there is no single day that everyone will agree on a particular matter. That is very difficult because humanity is wired in such a way that diversity of thought will always be there. I, therefore, urge that the residents of Kirinyaga County should ensure that they provide full political support and backing to this move. That needs to be demonstrated. It will not be a 100 per cent even though the Mover says that the assembly supports this fully. Maybe they support it 99 per cent. There will always be that person with dissenting view. It will important that the county supports this and moves with it so that it is not seen as a creation of the Senate, sitting in Nairobi, eating good food and deciding whether the county headquarters should be without consultation of the people. I also hope that public participation has been undertaken on this and that what we have in front of us reflects the deep wishes of the people of Kirinyaga County. This will not open another battle front between the Senate and the Council of Governors (CoG) or the people of Kirinyaga County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I reiterate my support, which is borne out of my respect for the Senator for Kirinyaga County who is a gentleman who is extremely committed. You will always find him in this House even when the ‘voting machines’ have left. He always remains behind as a ‘debating machine’. I am, therefore, sure that by the time he brings a Bill to this House, it is something that has been well conceptualized and reflects the wishes---"
