    "content": "seen his name in the list of ICPAK members. He has told me he is a chartered accountant. Maybe he forgot to register. Anyway, let me move on. You will forgive me for lack of understanding. This amendment is talking about the collector of stamp duties that shall refer to Chief Government Valuer or a registered and practising valuer. My problem with the registered and practising private valuers is that many times we know what they do in this country as professionals. For purposes of collecting stamp duties, chances are that Government can lose a lot of money if we are going to allow private valuers. You can even find a property worth Kshs10 million valued at Kshs2 million for purposes of stamp duty. I wanted to have a system where we can hold someone accountable. So, a Government valuer, to me, is a public servant whom we can easily hold accountable. In that case, unless I am convinced otherwise, I do not think this amendment is desirable in my view."
