The vehicles that move from one market to the other and they are obligated to pay revenue, are still being issued with receipts manually even after counties budgeted millions of shillings to automate revenue collection. That is what this Bill is proposing, that counties must think outside the box. You cannot wait year in, year out for the Senate to allocate revenue to your county so that you can spur development. You can also be innovative on how you collect revenue from your own county and use that income to develop your county. Why are we unable to adequately provide ...

Therefore, we must make a strong appeal to the EACC to make use of the good support that they are now getting from the Judiciary on issues of lifestyle audit. Lately, I have seen very good jurisprudence from our courts on people who have amassed wealth whose sources cannot be adequately explained to the courts. Those assets should be repossessed and given back to the counties. If they are houses, they can convert them to hospitals or pharmacies. By doing this, we will remind those coming after those culprits that corruption does not pay. Otherwise, without slaying this dragon of ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, I also hope that this Bill will help us deal with issues of value addition. I am wishing the Fifth, Hon. Odinga, all the best as he campaigns and prepares to be the next president of this country. His policies resonate with progressive society. This is not the time of telling people that you are going to transform the lives of our people by giving them wheelbarrows. I can never seek to be a president of a country and say that my only dream and ambition is to give wheelbarrows.

I like what Hon. Odinga is talking about; smart agriculture and value addition and how we can help our farmers to get more money into their pockets. That is what we are looking for. We know how poor our people are. How can any Kenyan oppose the idea

that is coming from Hon. Odinga who wants to support those who are socially and economically poor at the counties? How can you oppose a good idea of giving social support to our people of Kshs6000 per month?

Madam Deputy Speaker, that is what we want Kenyans to look at. The policies in the Azimio Coalition want to transform the lives of our people. This Bill will fit in to the ideas of Hon. Odinga.

There are people whom if they take power, they cannot understand this Bill. However, a person like Hon. Odinga will understand what it means when we say we want to take developments to the counties because he believes in devolution. If you get someone who opposes even when you propose to amend a Constitution to send 35 per cent of the revenue to the counties. How will they embrace such a good idea?

I am praying that when Sen. Nyamunga’s Bill passes, it will be implemented by a president who believes in transforming the lives of people in our counties and not somebody who wants to bring policies that will make our people remain analogue. A wheelbarrow is for the analogue generation. We are looking forward to the digital generation.
