    "content": "THAT, Clause 2 of the Bill be amended− (a) in the proposed new section 160A – (i) by inserting the words “within one year from the coming into force of this Act.”, immediately after the words “collection system” in sub-section (1); (ii) by inserting the following new subsection immediately after subsection (1) − (1a) The county revenue collection system shall – (a) be transparent, efficient, effective and verifiable; (b) be simple and easy to use; (c) be easy to manage and control to ensure accountability; (d) be adequately secure to prevent any fraud, losses or any other violations; (e) respect and promote the distinctiveness of national government and the county government; and (f) provide for separate accounting and reporting. (iii) by inserting the words “within one year and” immediately after the expression “sub-section (1)”in sub-section (2); (iv) by deleting sub-section (3) What we are trying to do there is to remove the responsibility of making sure that this system is transparent, efficient, effective and verifiable from the County Executive Officer which the original Bill was doing. We want this to be a function of the National Treasury, the KRA and the Council of Governors. The initial Bill was saying that the County Executive Officer should ensure that the revenue system caters for all these things. But we are saying that this is the job of those three organisations. Therefore, we are also adding, within one year, as part of our timelines and deleting sub-section (3) because it now has no point. That is the justification for Clause 2, new Section160A.
