Former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has reacted to the all-time low revenue collection posted by his successor, Governor Mike Sonko’s administration in the last financial year. City Hall netted a paltry Sh8.3 billion, missing its annual target by more than Sh9.2 billion and posting the worst revenue ever collection since the days of the defunct City Council. The kind of revenue being posted now is lower than even what the Council used to collect,” Kidero said. The all-time low revenue collection also happened during the year that the county ended its relationship with the Web-Tribe, a tech firm that has been collecting revenues for the city county since 2014. During Kidero’s last year in office, 2017-18, city collected Sh10.1 billion against a target of Sh17.2 billion.
