    "content": "CRA. The CRA needs to come up with incentives so that those who meet the target of their Own Source Revenue (OSR) are given incentives, for example, additional resources. Otherwise, most of the counties will not collect yet they are supposed to collect. I know the Senator of Nairobi City County is here. Nairobi City County is able to collect about Kshs60 or Kshs70 billion, but they are not collecting it. Elgeyo-Marakwet County should be collecting over Kshs200 million. However, they are collecting less than Kshs100 million, or about Kshs130 million. Therefore, we need to tighten the rope, so that these particular counties and all the counties raise A-in-A towards relieving the national Government from giving them additional resources. Madam Temporary Speaker, there are two issues that are maybe disadvantaging counties from getting more revenue. One, is the last audited accounts that are being discussed by the National Assembly. We need to push for audited accounts to be up to date so that the 15 per cent that is calculated on the national collection is up to date. That there is only a difference of a year or so."
