    "content": "I will come back to that far much later. One of the issues I have noted, and I had quick consultation with the Chair, is that when you now look at the Committee’s Report, they have proposed to make some amendments. One of the key ones is that development shall take place within one year which is good to put a timeline. However, when you now come to Clause 160C, the proposal within the Bill is that failure to develop and implement a county revenue collection system or report on its status and performance will attract sanctions. The National Treasury, in consultation with the Senate, will withhold part of the share of the revenue that the counties are entitled to, until they develop a system of revenue collection. If they have developed it, they should implement it and report its status and performance. Either of those three would be cause for sanction. The Committee decided that the development of the system of revenue collection is not exactly or entirely the responsibility of the counties which is fair. I agree with them. However, Clause 160A (2) obligates every county treasury to adopt and implement the county revenue collection system."
