    "content": "On the issue of tariffs, what excites counties is that they just call for a public hearing and say that they have consulted the public and they can increase or reduce tariffs. If you leave that to the hands of a politician, it can be very subjective. We are, therefore, saying that the ability to change tariffs without justification – “that I am using borehole water or I need to keep in mind the cost of fuel and that” - you have to go to another body which consults with you and agrees that, that tariff is fairly increased. We do not want to have what was given in the County Governments Act, that Nakuru County could sit down, talk to a few people in a public baraza and agree to change tariffs for that county. That is what we are trying to do, but the standard is throughout the country. The Government can decide: “We should have this level of chlorine”, and whatever other kind of consideration."
