According to the Kisumu County Executive for Trade, Tourism and Heritage Dr Rose Kisia licensing bills is going to improve revenue collection as opposed to situation of daily receipting.
Speaking to journalist at Museum Hall during the public participation forum Dr Kisia said that daily receipting is proned to loopholes and pilferage and it ends up in peoples pockets "When we license from the hawker to the biggest trader and done from a centralised system that is a guaranteed," she said. She added,
"The traders themselves are in support of the centralised system rather than the daily receipt to seal the revenue loopholes.With registration and licensing that money is guaranteed that through an IT system.
Dr Kisia also asked private markets such supermarkets to allocate space for county commodities. The idea of this bill is to create a conducive environment for better businesses and returns.
"With private market at least they give us space within the market for county goods.Small jobs especially non skilled labour should just go to the Kisumu county residents," said Dr Kisia. She said the county government is set to allocate Trade fund we are trying to create funds should return it back
