    "content": "In terms of the additional valuation role for properties that are omitted, I think this is key because what it states is that, the proposed law intends to ensure that every property, including properties that have now not been registered, are brought to the valuation matrix, so that we do not have owners of property who would then escape the valuation dragnet or the payment of taxes because their properties are not registered. In my County, Kisumu City, for instance, I know that a new valuation process is ongoing. I know that citizens are concerned about the values that have been placed on the properties. I also know that in my other City, Nakuru, there are several objections that have been raised by owners of property pursuant to valuations that have been done under the framework of law that currently exists. What this National Rating Bill portends is a framework that will be consultative, that will give rateable landowners an opportunity to object as they should. It also increases the time frame required, but ensures that no property is left out of the valuation process. I support."
