However, this is expected to change as City Hall has developed a Geographic Information System mapping to enhance its revenue collection and services offered to residents. The GIS is a system designed to capture, store, manipulate, analyse, manage, and present all types of geographical data. Kerich explained that as a planning tool, when active, the GIS mapping will start integrating the county’s topmost services like revenue collection. With the GIS system, it will be easier for the county to access information when digitised rather than the physical data. Vihiga and Mombasa counties are already using the GIS system.
