    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move: THAT, the County Government (Revenue Raising Process) Bill, (National Assembly Bill No.11 of 2023), be now read a Second Time. Hon. Temporary Speaker, this Bill gives effect to the Provisions of Article 209(5) of the Constitution. As we all know, Article 209 of our Constitution delineates the respective functions of the two levels of government on imposition of taxation. On one hand, Hon. Temporary Speaker, Members are aware that the Income Tax, the Value Added Tax (VAT), the Customs Duty and other duties of import and export of goods like the miscellaneous levies and taxes that we impose here through the Finance Bills of the House, fall under the ambit of the national Government. That is why we legislate on the Finance Bill and other tax laws that impose taxation on Kenyans and other people who may be doing business or working in the country."
