Local revenue collectionrealized 47 percent performance compared to 64 percent performance in the FY 2016/17The low rate of absorption both for recurrent and development expenditure was attributedto the prolonged political tension after the 2017 general elections which caused disruptionof business activities, inadequacy in county legislations hindered collection of revenuefrom other potential streams of revenue especially liquor licensing. Besides, stringentconditionality's imposed by the national treasury to access funds slowed downimplementation of key programs and projects.Going forward the county government will focus on revenue enhancement measures, fast track implementation of development projects to minimize on project roll-overs, scaledown on micro green field projects in favor of macro- projects which have high impacton the citizenry and are transformative in nature.
