Actually the voters are just about one million and you are talking of about 1.7 million residents. So, this is a very important Bill.

There are large investments in Nyahururu which would help in developing Nyandarua. The taxes which have been collected over five, ten or twenty years are huge amounts of money that can develop Nyandarua.
