"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Bill. Unfortunately, the titling of the Bill is the National Rating Bill (National Assembly Bills No.55 of 2022). Therefore, it has been prepared and most probably public participation done by the National Assembly as if it is for national purposes. Clause 55 seeks to repeal Cap 266 and 267. Cap 267 was a Local Authorities Act, which dealt with the old authorities and Cap 266 had something to do with the ratings. I agree that years have moved and we are now in devolution time. We should now deal with devolution. As a Senate, one of the things that should happen in this Bill is to subject it again to public participation at the counties, so that the counties have their say. The National Assembly and the Senate are making a law for the counties. I The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
