    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, clause 14 of the Bill be amended — (a) in subclause (1), by deleting the words “in the Finance Act of the relevant financial year for consideration” and substituting therefore the expression “in the first Finance Act during the currency of the Valuation Roll provided for under Section 29 of this Act”; (b) in subclause (2), by inserting the words “projected economic performance during the period when the rate struck will apply immediately after the words “prevailing economic situation”; (c) by inserting the following new sub-clauses immediately after subclause (3)— “(4). In setting up the rate struck, the County Committee Member shall ensure that there is adequate public participation. (5) Upon approval by the County Assembly of the rate struck, the County Executive Member responsible for finance shall notify the National Land Commission in the prescribed form.” Hon. Temporary Chairlady, the import is to avoid this cumbersome process of setting a new rate every year. The rate should only be set once and reviewed within the period of the currency of the Valuation Roll for purposes of planning, order and organisation. Secondly, in setting the rate, the County Committee shall ensure that there is adequate public participation. That is what the proposed amendments to Clause 14 are talking about."
