COUNTY HEADQUARTERS WAR. JANE MUGAMBI 13TH MARCH 2013. There is a tough of war on where the governor and his team will have their offices. A section of leaders have come out strongly opposing the governor's office to be in Kerugoya and instead to be in Kutus. During the meetings that have been held, retired Archbishop David Gitari,finance minister Njeru Githae among other leaders has been very vocal saying that the county headquarters be at Kutus since it is a central place. On the other hand former Gichugu MP Martha Karua,has differed with them over the decision citing that the government does not have resources to put up new buildings and also the proposed town does not have land where there could be offices. Out of the decision, the county commission has decided to hold the swearing in ceremony at Kutus town. The swearing in will take place at Kutus primary school where the procession will start from Kirinyaga University college grounds where he called upon all Kirinyaga residents to attend the ceremony so as to hear what their elected leaders plan to do for the county. He said that from the deliberations, the governor and his team will occupy Kirinyaga county council and part of the District's offices that are on second floor saying that the occupants have always been evacuated and moved to other offices and renovation has started. “From the outcome of the deliberations, we have decided the governor and his team will occupy the County council offices while other will be at the District officer’s office on the second floor” said Keter. He said that renovation has already started and that by the time they are sworn in, the offices will be ready and they can start working in. Ends.. 0723321326
