The national government might adopt the Kwale county revenue management system known as Kwale Pay, county Finance executive Bakari Sebe said on Sunday. The system uses e-technology and was launched two years ago to improve efficiency in revenue collection and curb corruption. Sebe said a multi-agency finance team from the national government has shown interest in Kwale Pay, which met the legal standard requirements. Sebe said that unlike revenue collection systems in other counties, Kwale Pay was designed in a way that offers services even when the Internet is low. It has helped tackle cases of indiscipline among revenue collection officers, he said, adding that previously, the officers were pocketed a share of the revenue collected.
