Governor Cyprian Awiti said revenue collection has dwindled over time from a high of more than Sh200 million in 2013-14 to low of Sh120 million in the 2018-19 financial year. “We must reverse the trend and meet our current (2019-20) budgeted revenue collection target. Speaking on Saturday after meeting the officers who were deployed to eight constituencies in Homa Bay town, Awiti said his administration will be strict on revenue collection. The governor said they would replace the commission agents with permanent staff in the payroll to enhance accountability. “There has been observed improvement of daily revenue collection in Homa Bay town because of replacement of commission agents,” Ogwe said.
