The Commission on Revenue Allocation CRA has challenged county governments to strive to devise ways of boosting their local revenue streams.

According to CRA, obvious revenue streams such as Cess collection, parking and licensing ought to be going on an upward trend and counties needed to maximize on their potential revenue targets.
John Martim Director Finance and Economic Planning said Elgeyo Marakwet achieved it’s targets in the previous successive years, though it still needed to maximize potential revenue targets.
