    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, let me also support this very important Bill that seeks to amend the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, as proposed by Sen. (Dr.) Zani. The proposals are very good; one, because it is targeting improvement in own-source revenue collection by counties. As we know, own-source revenue is one of the sources of revenue that counties should be targeting and making use of. However, there is currently a lot of dependence on the sharable revenue from the National Treasury. We know that the national revenue raised in this country is projected, and sometimes there is under-collection. The same case also applies to own-source revenue, because there is no seriousness on the part of the county treasuries to collect it. Even if they collect, there are concerns about the presence of a lot of pilferage. As such, the funds collected do not find their way into the county revenue funds. There is generally a total misuse of that source of revenue. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
