Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I want to support the amendment that the Chair of ICT, Hon. William Kisang, has brought to the Floor of this House. Ideally, moving vehicles that bear advertisement content are licensed and pay the county of origin. If the vehicle belongs to, say, Nairobi or Kiambu County, the owner pays in the county of origin. The amendment from the Departmental Committee on ICT is trying to ensure that the same vehicle that has paid for advertisement content in one county does not pay the same levies when it moves to the next county. Therefore, I support ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I thank the Member for that very important question. As the Committee looks into that matter, they should also question something that has come up. Police officers are using COVID-19 pandemic as an avenue to make money, especially enforcement of a system to wear masks.

They are arresting innocent wananchi because they do not have masks. We were told to wear masks when we go to public places. They are going to the gates of people who have not worn masks to arrest them. The police force should be educated on what is supposed to be done. When they arrest these people, they put them together in a cell in a way they cannot keep the social distance. As the Committee investigates this matter, I would like to urge them to look into the question of corruption and extortion that the police force is using ...
