    "content": "The issue of fiscal capacity and efficiency of county governments in collecting tax and accounting for it is quite urgent and important. We cannot continue to say that they have no capacity and are not prepared yet money is being collected. There is no county that is not charging some kind of taxation to some services yet these funds are not properly accounted for. So, the time has come for us to say every revenue that is collected either by the national Government or the county government must be properly accounted. We cannot allow people to collect taxes and use them the way they want without proper accountability. So, this Revenue Allocation Bill must address itself to those issues for proper accountability. We want to see Kenya moving forward. We want to see Kenyans enjoying the services. That is the purpose of increasing funds to the counties. Otherwise, there is no point to increase if we are not going to enjoy. Thank you."
