    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you. I am not talking about the politics of BBI, but simulations of revenue. Revenue is a part of audit. We are talking about the Report of CPAIC. Sen. Kang‟ata will be happy to note that his county, if we pass this, will be getting revenue to the tune of Kshs9 billion and above as opposed to what it has been getting. On top of that, and I will give you an example, we passed the Sectional Properties Bill. We also doing the re-evaluation of the roll in Nairobi. The Sectional Properties law will mandate that rates and rents be paid on each dwelling, not just on the improved land value. Even for apartments, you will get a title deed. It is projected then that our own- source revenue in Nairobi City County will be anything between Kshs50 billion and Kshs75 billion in the first year of implementing that. Madam Temporary Speaker, Kshs50 billion to Kshs75 billion plus Kshs25 billion that we are getting through BBI comes to Kshs100 billion. That is why we need to make sure that before that happens, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri and your Committee, have proper systems for accountability. That money can change the lives of the people of Nairobi. We are talking about our water, mass transit system, our hospitals, the sewerage system, drugs and providing opportunities for the people of Nairobi County. Madam Temporary Speaker, I am excited and I am sure that we will have a very good governor in the next election, 2022, who will use these resources prudently. This is The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
