They agreed even before the 2013 election was done. The earlier headquarters which is Kerugoya; historically, people would have the attachment by saying they would like to have that remain the way it is. When the matter was put to the vote, the vote that carried the day was that Kutus be the headquarters. By that time, even the governors and the Senators did not know they were going to be elected because it was before the devolution government of 2013. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I stand here, I represent the will of Kirinyaga people that Kutus be the headquarters. The stakeholders were involved and quite a number of people were involved including the then Members of Parliament. So, I am happy that even today, Senators have found it fit to go by what I am advising because I am from there and I know what it means if this is contrary to the feeling and opinion of the majority of the people. Since I know what the majority of the people of Kirinyaga County would like me to say, I am saying it because I have no fear.
