On May 6, 2020, Machakos Governor Dr. Alfred Mutua unveiled a statehouse lookalike county headquarter, sparking heated debates among internet citizens.
The new county headquarter, which bears a striking resemblance to the Statehouse, is set to house the county government. However, the real cost of the project remains unknown, with estimates suggesting it could be in the hundreds of millions.
While some have praised the Governor's initiative, others have questioned the relevance of the new county headquarter, citing the existing infrastructure in the area.
