    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, before the advent of the new Constitution, the Government of Kenya used to pay taxes for the buildings they own in the City County of Nairobi. Why have they stopped paying for them? Why are we not asking these questions? I was hoping that the Senator for City County of Nairobi, who was here just a few minutes ago, would support me on this issue. However, we must begin to raise these concerns, together with this one, because that is the only way we are going to support counties to make revenue and become independent. Therefore, Sen. Poghisio, we will support you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am glad that the Bill has now moved to this side of the House, and I hope it is going to be a blessing. You are going to speak to our brothers in the National Assembly to make them see the sense of having a Bill where we can regulate advertising in counties. That way, counties will be given an avenue of making some little money so that the people we serve out there in the villages can begin to see the value of devolution other than paying small little taxes from chicken and other things, while there are people who can afford to pay by advertising. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support."
