    "content": "Therefore, Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope that these amendments will put in place a system that will protect the public from the Zakayos of the present moment, particularly in a place like Migori and other places in Kenya. This should be done to protect the public from people who are supposed to be trustees of public revenue and authority. Madam Temporary Speaker, the promise, in these proposed amendments, to ensure that revenue is collected and protected; and to provide the right to withhold the sharable equitable revenue from the National Treasury if the county is not implementing a revenue collection system, is welcome. The national Treasury and national Government have a standard way of doing it, having done it for many years. It is, therefore, important to bring all counties on board by having a mechanism or system to which they all will be compelled to measure up to. That would be important because, in my view, if they do not measure up to that system, it would be important to withhold the revenue that they take for granted and which they think should just be taken there and used to do things that are not important."
