    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Being a Member of the Departmental Committee on Lands, I support the Bill because I am part of it. All that needed to be said has been said by the Leader of the Majority Party and the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Lands. This Bill seeks to harmonise the erratic ways of rating properties as has been done. The enactment in 1956 and the next one in 1964 are way before the enactment of the Constitution of Kenya, 2010. This Bill seeks to tighten the loose ends and facilitate the county governments to get the revenues they need, in conformity with the Constitution. With technology in place, this Bill ties all the loose ends to help the county governments that have been complaining of not collecting the taxes that they need to collect. The Bill provides a way other than the erratic ways in which things have been done in terms of collecting tax revenues. I am part of the Committee. We have gone through the Bill and talked to all the stakeholders, and it is only in order that I support and ask the House to support it."
