    "content": "Chapter 12 on Public Finance of our Constitution is extremely clear on the revenue raising abilities and capacity that counties have and should have. We need to address own-source revenue. We need to address the innovation of how to raise revenue in our counties. I am glad that many Members have spoken about the issue of automation. Automation needs to be done properly. In as much as Nairobi automated, we have also seen a drop. If you look at the revenue streams, those that have been automated, there is still some malfeasance and some mischief in the streams you allow to be automated and which ones remain to be collected in cash. That is something that must be looked at. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am very pleased that my county - you know all of us come from somewhere and I come from Nairobi - I am very pleased that in this financial year, using the last audited revenue, I am glad that BBI talks about, we will not be using the years back, but the most recent. Out of Kshs370 billion, 35 per cent will be Kshs475 billion. Out of that Kshs475 billion, Nairobi City County will be receiving Kshs25 billion in a financial year as soon as we pass BBI. I can tell you what your counties will be getting if you are interested---"
