    "content": " Hon. Temporary Chairlady, it is truly unfortunate looking at it. However, I want this to be very clear as I request the Chair. I know you told me you did not have a chance to look at this but to be honest, I can tell you for sure if you look at Clause 27 in the Bill is very narrow. It basically makes areas within our county governments which shall be rateable areas for the purposes of this Act. My amendment expands the definition and creates a very clear procedure on determining a ‘rateable owner’ and gives a chance for any way that the county government, through public participation, can change. If you look at it, rating is emotive and needs a very clear procedure. I make reference to Urban Areas and Cities Act, 2019 and all other processes that we have practised in the past. On this amendment, I beseech for your support, colleagues and the Whip of the Majority Party. Even if you ask the Chairman, I am sure that he will not have any problem."
