Nairobi County’s own source revenue in the first quarter ended September hit a record high of Sh2.05 billion, buoyed by steady growth in the advertising, food handling and Unified Business Permits (UBPs) streams.

This is a 13.8 percent rise from the Sh1.8 billion raised in the same period a year earlier and was driven by increases of 981.4 percent, 868 percent and 403 percent in revenues from advertising, food handling and UBPs respectively.
