    "content": "Public participation is also very important. Kenyans need to understand why they should pay these taxes and how much they are paying. The issue of involvement of citizens is very important. I wish the counties can bring on board the citizens in terms of giving them information on these taxes that are being collected. Citizens in our counties are harassed every other day because of either single business permits or all other taxes that are supposed to be paid that they are not aware of. Lastly, is the issue of double taxation. Business people are being charged all manner of taxes that are also taxed by the national Government as well as the county governments. Therefore, I agree with Sen. Khaniri that it is high time that we got policies that guide this process because revenue is very important, but should be equally collected in a transparent manner. They should also give back services to the citizens."
