    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to add my voice to that of my colleagues. Revenue collection is very crucial at all levels, be it at the National or county level. Having gone through this report, I have seen some few things to speak about. If counties sleep on their jobs and fail to collect revenue and then we go through and pass legislation in this House saying that every county should go and undertake development or what they want to do using whatever they collected, then that means that some counties will be stuck. Therefore, it is high time we appealed to counties to pull up their socks this financial year and collect revenue so as to undertake their projects effectively. The Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS) is a big problem and a disease where I come from in Tana River County. You will see people gathering at the county headquarters just to tell you that IFMIS is not working and, therefore, there is no disbursement of money. As a result, you will see them stuck. The County Treasury reports here that “IFMIS enhances fiscal transparency, accountability and improves efficiency.” Yes, it does all these things; but when it comes to our rural areas, where most of us come from, IFMIS is a problem and it is making us to lag behind. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
