"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, everyone is talking of valuation rolls, rates, taxing everyone for everything. If you want to cut a tree in Nairobi City County, you have to pay something. I want to encourage those of us who are in here such as Sen.(Prof.) Ongeri, the distinguished Speaker and others who I believe that God listens to their prayers and who will be fortunate to run counties, that let us improve productivity in our counties. ***The formula for revenue sharing that we spent a lot of time in this House trying to agree on, to be honest we did not get an elegant solution. I remember sitting with Sen. Wetangula at the Parliament bar and on the other side we were with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., Sen. Sakaja. After the third round of whisky, we asked ourselves what are we fighting over. On the fourth round, we said let us agree on something and then on the fifth round we agreed on something. That is not how to write laws and come up with formula for revenue allocation. I do hope that the next Parliament will revisit that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I second."
