    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I rise to support the amendment that has been brought forth by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Communication, Information and Innovation. When we gave ourselves the Constitution in 2010, roles were well defined as to who takes the mandate of the national Government and who takes the mandate of county governments. The amendment here seeks to ensure that outdoor advertising remains a county government function. The moment we open another layer of taxation or even consent at a higher level, which is the national Government, then we are going against the Constitution that clearly directs that outdoor advertising is a county government function. Some information that this House might not have is that the court has already pronounced itself three times that the matter of outdoor advertising is fully a county government function and not a national Government function. We very well know that KeNHA is a national Government entity. I support my Chairman’s amendment."
