North Rift counties are projecting better internal revenue collection and faster recovery in the 2021-22 financial year after the Covid-19 pandemic. The pandemic caused the counties to lose more than Sh8 billion in uncollected revenues, land rates and stalled projects. Private and public investors in the region are foreseeing a brighter future, but also want Kenyans to guard against Covid-19. “The economy is recovering slowly but we hope for an even better future, especially as from 2023,” said Karanja. He said counties will partner with the private sector to provide the necessary support required to help businesses resume full operations within the shortest time.
