    "content": "I have listened to the Members speaking. I want to re-emphasise that the importance of this Bill is to not only have a system of revenue collection, but also have a uniform system of revenue collection, so that what is applicable in Nairobi County should be applicable in Siaya County, Wajir County, Nyandarua County and in the 47 counties. Right now, each county tries to localise its revenue collection system to fit what is in their convenience. When systems are so diverse, accountability and transparency disappear because it is very difficult to compare apples with oranges. When all fruits are standardised and they become either apples or oranges, at least, one can compare what has come through the revenue system in one county and the other one. The Bill has worked out a very simple way of letting the National Treasury develop the system of revenue collection. Each of the counties is then obligated under the new Clause 160A(2) to adopt and implement it."
