    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the onset, I second this Bill. Firstly, this is a timely Bill because it regulates and gives power on what to do in terms of revenue raising measures. This Bill gives effect to Article 209(5) of the Constitution, which defines the manner in which the national Government, through the National Treasury, may exercise its policy oversight role. It also establishes the processes where the county governments may exercise their taxation authority. There has been this idea that the national Government may not oversee county governments and that, it is only the Senate that can do that. But when it comes to money Bills, the National Assembly has the power to exercise oversight authority and policy on county governments. That is aptly done by this Bill. The Senate thinks that it has exclusive mandate to oversee county governments."
