They collect Kshs56 million in a year yet their annual budget is Kshs9 billion. If the taps from the Consolidated Fund were to be closed, Wajir County would cease to be a going concern. The Public Finance Management (PFM) Regulations are very clear on what counties should do to optimize own source revenue. We have also talked about automation and I am glad that Sen. (Dr.) Zani has sponsored an amendment to the PFM Act. That will make it mandatory for counties to automate revenue collection systems."}
