A new report has revealed the best and worst-performing counties in own source revenue collection in the first three months of the fiscal year.
The county expenditure report by Controller of Budget Margaret Nyakang’o ranks Tana River, Narok, Samburu, Garissa and Elgeyo Marakwet as the best performers.
Conversely, Marsabit, Kajiado, Nyamira, Bungoma, Machakos, Kericho, Kisumu and Bomet are the worst against their own targets.
Not meeting targets does not necessarily mean you collected the lowest amount of money in total collection compared to other counties.
A county could have missed its target by a high margin, but collected more money and especially if it had set a very high target.
