    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I support the Statement by the Senator for Kiambu County, Sen. Karungo wa Thang’wa, on the issue of land rates in the county. It is true that our counties face challenges, particularly regarding land rates, where the county is imposing high rates, making it difficult for residents to pay. This emanates from inadequate consultation within the county. The introduction of land rates by a county government should be a consultative process, where a valuation roll is subjected to review by residents to allow for agreement and input. County governments must seek approval through county assemblies before implementing such rates. It should not be a decision imposed unilaterally by county executives, administrators or governors. I understand this because somebody has just said that assets and liabilities have been approved by the county governments through the local governments particularly on The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
