    "content": "the audit aspect of the resources. Audit will be achieved and once its verifiable, there is definitely going to be a better way of handling the resources for the counties that have collected. This Bill recognises the existence of the KRA, the CRA and the CoG who will be a joint organ in terms of laying down the rules that will govern the formation of these tax rules. Therefore, once it is enacted, it is not going to override the existence of CRA and KRA. The independence of those institutions will still be there, but it will gain the richness that these institutions have in terms of collection of taxes. Therefore, it is not going to obstruct any of the agencies, but it is going to support the agencies to exist. Finally, as I support this Bill, I want to look at the issue that this Bill is going to contain in terms of how the taxes are going to be applied. For instance, various counties have come up with IT systems in terms of collection of taxes, but these IT systems have not really been audited enough. Instead, they have been used as sources to hide the resources that are collected. Therefore, once this Bill comes into being, everything shall be universal and verifiable. Everything shall be identified from the source by whoever is interested in knowing whatever is happening in a particular county with respect to the collection of taxes. This Bill is good and I urge my colleagues to support it. I also support it. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
