    "content": "Thank you. In Nairobi City County, it is imperative that we review the leases, the taxes and the land rates, so that we can be fair and balanced. We are talking about Nairobi City County not being able to pay streetlights and yet, this is a security issue. You collect taxes to pay for bills. That is number one. In Kisumu County, the matter is about public participation. We just have to be fair and that is the most important thing. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that the Committee, which will be looking at this issue of this taxation can look at it and become fair. I also hope that the taxes which were levied on the Housing Levy will reduce in this Financial Year to one per cent or even lower than that, so that we can balance."
