    "content": "One of the amendments to enrich the Bill will be that before the responsible County Executive Committee Member sets the rates track, there must be adequate and meaningful public participation. In the past, members of the public have made submissions, and submitted petitions and memoranda which have been, routinely, carelessly and casually ignored. Certain pieces of legislation which have very serious consequences are just rammed together. One of the issues we are now seeing in academia is that in the setting of the rates track, there must be some kind of compelling public participation, so that whatever is said becomes compulsory. In many countries, before you impose a tax, you must have a referendum. Parliamentarians must agree on whether the country will have a referendum or not. The Bill states that the county government will be the rating authority and all properties in the county will be subject to rating."
