"content": "Now that we are passing this to become law, it will bring uniformity, sobriety, and eliminate a small route that has been used by finance committees in the county assemblies and executives that send these memorandums. This is where they get a small clique of people to conduct public participation and when you ask the traders if this public participation was conducted, no one can stand up and say that it happened. Out of about 1,000 registered traders in Ol Kalou, less than 15 participated in the public participation of the Finance Bill. The Bill is now a matter that has gone all the way to the Ol Kalou High Court, where orders have been issued against traders paying the new licences. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we get a County Board that will rely on regulations that will even come from the Cabinet Secretary in the National Government, the same parameters that are being used in Lamu County can be borrowed. A business in Lamu County will have some similarities to a business in another place. I do not want to say anything more because I was informing the Senate Majority Leader. I am sure Sen. Cheruiyot, is just about to reply, but is a bit engaged. I know he has have benefited largely from my legendary wisdom and knowledge. He can now reply."
