Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 3 of the Bill be amended – (a) by deleting the expression “(1)”; (b) in paragraph (c) by inserting the words “that has a licence from another county” immediately after the words “a moving vehicle” appearing in subparagraph (iv). The essence of this amendment is to avoid double taxation of businesses from one county to the other. If a business has a branded vehicle and the vehicle is moving from one county to another county, it should not be taxed if it has already paid tax in one county.

Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 4 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph— “(b) the written consent of the owner of the site or any other person with an interest in the site entitled to give consent.” The essence of this amendment is to ensure that county governments are able to carry out this mandate as provided for in Article 186 and the Fourth Schedule of the Constitution. There was a proposal that one should get consent from Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA). Basically, this ...

Hon. Chairman, I beg to move: THAT, Clause 10 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting paragraph (b) and substituting therefor the following new paragraph-— “(b) the written consent of the owner of the site or any other person with an interest in the site entitled to give consent.” Clause 10 speaks to the same issue as Clause 4, and we are saying this is a purely county government function. They can consult as provided for in Clause 7, which we have already passed, so they do not need to have consent. The justification for this is ...

THAT, Clause 15 of the Bill be amended by inserting the words “regulate and” immediately after the words “government entity shall.” This clause aims to ensure that county governments are the only one-stop shop that regulates and controls outdoor advertising. The county governments will come up with enabling legislation that will ensure that businesses are served at one point as opposed to one moving from one office to another looking for different regimes of licensing. Outdoor advertising is a function of county governments, as I have said. This is just a framework. Some of the counties, actually about 10, already ...

Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I beg to move: THAT, Clause 21 of the Bill be amended in sub-clause (2) by deleting paragraph “b” and substituting therefor the following new paragraph- “(b) a rate card that shall be reviewed every seven years stating the fees and charges to be paid in respect of any matter required for the purposes of this Act. Hon. Chairman, the reason for this is to mandate counties to come up with rate cards after every seven years, which will allow for, at least, as you know, the business community to have a predictable rate. This is ...
