"content": "Hon. Speaker, this Bill is about the uniform licensing that should be done by the county governments. As we speak, they do their licensing haphazardly, and they do not have a uniform way in which these licenses can be issued. There are instances where counties charge licenses or fees for goods that are moving across counties. Every county government decides to charge licenses for each of those goods. At the end of the day, the cost of doing business in Kenya becomes very high because of the high costs that have been imposed on the goods that are moving across counties."

Deputy Speaker, the other issue that this Bill seeks to achieve is to ensure that licenses that are charged upon counties are addressed at fair prices that every other licensee is able to afford. There is also need to maintain public confidence in the respective sectors under which the license is being issued. The imposition of the license fee is carried out in a manner that does not hamper the respective business or industry, and also to ensure that information on conditions for the issuance of license and licensing procedures is by the provision of the Access to Information Act, which is already in place."
