The Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot has tabled a Bill in the House seeking to have county governments planning to enforce taxes and levies submit the proposal to an Inter-Agency Committee at least 10 months before they act.

Mr Cheruiyot has sponsored the County Governments (Revenue Raising Process) Bill, 2023 which provides that whenever counties seek to impose a tax, the County Executive Committee member will be required to submit particulars to the committee 10 months before the commencement of the financial year.
