    "content": "In Nandi, we are lucky to have tea and cess is paid. We have sugarcane in Chemilil-Chemase Ward which is in Tinderet Sub-County. We also have sugarcane in Mosop Sub-County and also Kamboga, Kabiyet and many other areas. That cess should be used. At some point, Sen. (Dr.) Zani argued how counties can make it efficient in terms of generating own source revenue. However, you will see boda boda men being chased to pay the cess while they do not have shades. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) says that kulipa ushuru ni kujitegemea, but people should also get services . Our counties are performing poorly. When collecting fees, they harass people, close their shops, and clobber young boda boda men. In my county, boda boda riders have to construct shades. They do that to protect themselves from the sun and the rain. They use grass-thatched shades yet the county government has been given money. When the county government steps in, they construct funny structures using ordinary mabati. For example, when you go to Mosoriot, you will see women selling their wares and vegetables when it is raining or windy, yet they pay money to the County Government of Nandi. They sell their items in open air market because stalls have not been constructed. When you go to Mosoriot, Kabiyet, Ndala, Chepterwai, Maraba and even Kapsabet which is the county headquarters, I will not say outside the Governor’s Office, you will see people selling wares because no one has built them stalls. When you go to Kaptumo and even Kobuchai which is the Governor’s trading centre, you will see people selling in open air but they pay money. Wind blows away hardworking women’s items. When you go to Lessos and Nandi Hills, you will find hardworking women selling their wares on the roadside. They pay the fees but the County Government of Nandi has done nothing to ensure there are proper stalls. To make it worse, there are no public toilets. Those women stand from morning to evening yet some of them could be suffering from underlying conditions that require them to use washrooms."
