    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the onset, I want to support this amendment. What we need to understand is that counties are not operating in a vacuum. In Trans Nzoia County, there is a Revenue Amendment Bill, No.4 of 2016 that was done and is now an Act which was assented to in 2017. So, as we make these laws, we should also realise what we want to achieve. I think the aim here is to achieve standardisation so that we can have a uniform revenue collection tool. My caution would be that at the end of the day, if we are going to come up with a uniform collection tool for revenue and implementation, we should also not make it in such a way that it becomes very expensive for counties to implement. We should look at what is already in place in every county so that whatever law we come up with can be applied uniformly in the country, bearing in mind what is already operational."
