    "content": "Articles 187 and 189 of the Constitution on transfer of functions and cooperation between the national and the county governments. The proposed legislative framework will provide transparency in the administration of intergovernmental transfers in respect to transferred functions and cooperation between governments. Once completed, the legislative proposal will be submitted to this honorable House for consideration and approval. Hon. Speaker, in order to support county governments’ efforts to enhance their own source revenue (OSR), the National Treasury submitted the County Governments (Revenue Raising Process) Bill to this august House. The Bill will regulate the manner in which counties introduce or vary fees and charges. Once passed, this legislation will address the problem of multiplicity of fees and charges within and across counties in line with Article 209(5) of the Constitution. I call upon the Hon. Members to consider and approve this Bill in a bid to create a conducive working environment for businesses and deal with the issue of multiplicity of fees and charges within the county governments."
