    "content": "public officers. This also includes authorities of foreign countries with which Kenya has entered into agreements of sharing information. As my colleague said earlier on, these procedures should also be devolved to govern and regulate tax collection across the counties. Levies in the counties are currently not disclosed. They have become a conduit of corruption. The systems and procedures should be devolved to cover levies collected by the county governments. I hope that this will also motivate county assemblies to legislate on systems and procedures for efficient tax collection and accountability by the county government. Even as we strive to effect efficient tax collection procedures in order to increase the public income, we also need to curb wastage and corruption in the public sector, particularly at the county level. Those who believe that they are playing a watchdog role always talk about lost billions or hundreds of millions of shillings at the national Government level, forgetting that a lot of corruption takes place at the counties. We need to do a lifestyle audit of public officers as part of curbing corruption. With those few remarks, I support the Bill."
