Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The new Kajiado county officials assigned different revenue collection roles are expected to raise Sh 1.5 billion by June 2023. Governor Joseph Ole Lenku says “the political season is over and it is now “time to work for the people” as they also pay the requisite levies and rates.<\/p>\n

Lenku spoke on Tuesday after meeting a team appointed last week by his finance CEC member Michael Semera to manage revenue collection. Semera initiated reforms and reorganised the revenue department in a bid to raise revenues after many claims that those charged with the collection revenue of revenue are unable to perform.<\/p>\n

The finance CEC member said the department has adopted a hybrid system where revenue will now be collected at both the county and sub-county levels. He said there will be a head of revenue in each sub-county with a supervisor who acts as a deputy.<\/p>\n

Lenku said the county can even raise more than Sh1.5 billion in revenue and expects the new team to lead by example. By 2019, the county had surpassed Sh1.2 billion in revenue collection only to nose-dive to about Sh200 million in 2021.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur business people in the county and everyone else paying taxes are expecting us to deliver by keeping the county roads in super states. They want us to collect garbage,\u201d said Lenku.<\/p>\n

Kajiado county has hundreds of mines for building stones, sand and even soda ash from Magadi. Other than the mines, there are many wildlife conservancies in nearly all the sub-counties, flower farms and tomato growing in the south of the county.<\/p>\n
