has spoken well and they have genuine concerns about particular clauses in the Bill or the procedures involved, the fact is that the Bill is not right now before the House.

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Is the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet in order to pretend that he does not know about affirmative action? If a county has no city, municipality or town, you have to choose one that appears like a town, call it a municipality, get the facilities there and it becomes the headquarters.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The petitioner has a point. First of all, the issue of Nyahururu is one which I have variably tried to get the support of the Government through the House and otherwise to develop the headquarters for Nyandarua County.
