    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to second this Bill. I beg to second. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the Leader of Majority Party for eloquently moving this particular Bill and also for breaking down its elements which has simplified the legislative proposal that we have had opportunity as the Departmental Committee on Lands to go through. When we interacted with this legislative proposal, we were convicted that it is very progressive. I am very sure it will have a profound impact on revenue collection measures which have been put up by the Kenya Kwanza Government. I am also very sure that the county governments across the country will raise money beyond what they are collecting at the moment. The National Rating Bill seeks to provide a very comprehensive legal framework on how to levy properties and land in the country. It also provides a mechanism for measuring rate-able properties. There is an element of the appointment of all valuers by setting up a criterion for their appointment. It also provides for the establishment and determination of powers and functions of the proposed National Rating Valuation Tribunal. This is something that we have not had. When we interacted with the Council of Governors, they proposed that it could have been good to have the tribunal set up in the 47 county governments, but we did not find that proposal tenable.
