    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, it is very important for us to see how the councils can raise funds to pay the mayors, deputy mayors and the councillors. For the last 15 years, the Mombasa City Council has applied several times through the Office of Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government to be allowed to charge levies, especially in very important areas like the Kilindini Harbour. The council had asked if it could charge, at least,US$1 for every tonne of imports or exports. The council should also be allowed to charge levies through the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA). In areas where there are airports, the municipal or city councils should be allowed to charge levies. Other areas through which councils could raise funds, include the Kenya Power and Lighting Company (KPLC). For every single pole erected by the KPLC, councils should charge a certain levy in order to raise some income."
