    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me just point out that the level of compliance for various councils is varied. Indeed, there are a number of municipalities or local authorities that have asked for a waiver. With the relevant resolutions, we have granted that. In fact, for Nairobi City Council, I would like to point out that the last waiver was granted from the month of October to December, 2009. This waiver was made public for all rate payers and, indeed, some residents took advantage of it, paid their rates and got a waiver of the penalties. I would like to suggest that, at this point in time, the City Council of Nairobi has been collecting a lot of rates. To the best of my knowledge, they have collected close to Kshs700 million by putting pressure on ratepayers to pay. Therefore, before the waiver is granted, I think they have a duty to collect the rates."
