    "content": "To further that argument, the KURA argued that they have a duty and a right to collect advertising revenue out of all the urban roads and by-passes in Nairobi City County. It went further. The KeRRA argued that they have a duty to earn revenue from all the rural roads that they build and maintain. That meant that county governments were not going to earn anything out of outdoor advertising on major roads. The matter is settled and counties should now proceed and collect revenue out of outdoor advertising on those roads. Secondly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my colleagues have talked about county revenue raising measures. As we speak, the National Assembly is considering the County Governments Revenue Raising Regulation Process Bill. I hope when that Bill comes to this House, we will look at it properly and also take into consideration the views that have already been stated by Council of Governors (CoG) and governors who argue that the national Treasury cannot take away their right and responsibility to impose duties and taxes in their respective jurisdictions. Even though counties have that right and duty in the Constitution, it has to be exercised in a manner that does not frustrate legitimate business people.
