    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have a direct answer to that question. As we speak today, the counties have the mandate of collecting the rates. They have failed. As an advocate, I can tell you for sure that I have struggled, especially with parcels of land coming from Eastlands or parcels of land whose rates clearance certificates we could not find for the last five years or so. You end up in a situation where you have to bribe your way in order to get these clearances from City Hall. If we can, we should allow the Kenya Revenue Authority to do it because it has good established mechanisms. We have just recruited more individuals to assist in tax collection. I think it is important for the Committee to relook at this. Give me just one more minute."
