    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not want to repeat what other Senators have said. However, I have noted that another challenge that Sen. Khaniri should also include is that there are some assets that are under-valued in revenue collection. For instance, in my county and Kericho County we have huge tea plantations but when you check what is collected from them, it is very low. Therefore, we would like to ask the Members of County Assemblies to come up with Bills on the re-evaluation of some assets so that they may increase taxation on them. Some counties have got huge resources, for example, in Taita Taveta County, they have some animal reserves. However, the taxes that the counties are collecting from them are so little based on valuation done immediately after Independence or some years back. Therefore, I think that some assets should be re-evaluated to make sure that new taxation is applied accordingly. Thank you."
