    "content": "Sometimes they argue that when it comes to licensing and revenue raising, that is the sole mandate of county assemblies. As long as they have passed their finance bills, the Senate or any other national entity should not be dragged into that conversation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, whereas I sympathize with the powers of county governments to raise revenue and the power of county assemblies to be the ones to process finance and revenue raising measures within their respective counties, we must remember that the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 is still for a unitary government, and we still have this kind of government. Even though we have 47 counties, we are still a unitary government and are not a federal state. Whatever the Senate does and whatever we do at the headquarters in Nairobi should ensure that Kenyans who are doing business across the 47 counties have got some sense of justice and fairness in the manner in which they are treated."
