    "content": "On Clause 78, the Kenya Revenue Authority is now mandated to be more serious because the resources required by the 47 counties must be collected by this Authority. Before I move on, let me recognize the good work that is being executed by the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA). The Authority must devolve services to all the 47 counties so that they will also participate in the collection of taxes. To realize adequate collection on taxes, one area that the Authority must direct itself is to seal off where fake currencies have been made and circulated in this country. Cases of fraud have taken ages in this country to prosecute. It is, therefore, important for the incoming new blood in the KRA to seal off some of these loopholes. Imports of illicit brews must also be discouraged completely and more particularly on importation of motor vehicles, cigarettes and even drugs. It is important that we learn from the Euro zone, where most of the countries in Europe are really now struggling and crying for bailout. Therefore, we will not want the new governments to start crying immediately after formation in 2013. It will therefore be very important to make sure that the Cabinet Secretary in charge of finance will be able to release funds to county governments in good time. Time must be stipulated so that projects in the county governments will be implemented for the well being of citizens."
