    "content": "disadvantaged because Nairobi needs more revenue for its own performance. Nairobi should be treated in a more special manner than these other counties. When we are allocating revenue, Nairobi should be looked at in a more specific way knowing very well that it is generating most of this income that is being given to these other counties. The other thing that we need to look at is how the county governments collect revenue which they are supposed to top up with what they are getting from the central Government. One of the things we noticed is that these counties under the defunct local governments, used to collect revenue and used to perform. But now that money is being given to them from the central Government, most of these counties have abdicated their duties. They are not collecting revenue. From the reports we have seen even from the World Bank, most counties are either not collecting revenue or accounting for it. So, we also need to encourage them to collect revenue from their sources so that they can use it to enhance what is given from the central Government. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker---"
