There have been complaints in the country on the levies paid. For example, if you are moving goods from Nakuru to Mombasa by road, you might pay levies in all the counties along the way. By the time your product reaches the Port of Mombasa, you will not make any profit. In addition, there has been numerous concerns from business people that some county governments levy haphazardly. Some of which are in breach of Article 209 of the Constitution, including inhibiting international protocols and agreements intended to ease regional and inter-county trade.

This Bill intends to amend the PFM Act No.8 of 2012 and ensures that a county government revenue collection system is developed by the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury in consultation with the Council of Governors (CoG), Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) and the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) and implemented by county treasuries. The system, once developed, will have certain features which will ensure own revenue resource collection is transparent, accountable, simple and easy to report.
