Kisumu revenue dip raises queries as NGO calls for action against culpritsKisumu Governor Anyang Nyong'o (left) with the new County Public Service Board chairman Charles Babu Karan after taking an oath on April 30. Non-governmental organisation Transparency International (TI) now wants those responsible for pilferage of county funds must be held liable. It cites a Controller of Budget report for 2017/18 financial year, which shows there is decline in performance of the county’s own revenue. Revenue collection decreased by 12.9 per cent from Sh1 billion in the financial year 2016/17 to Sh879.90 million in 2017/18. Accuracy of the revenue for the year ended June 30, 2018 could not be confirmed for the rates and rent.
