Nairobi City County’s internal revenues for the six months to December hit a record low after it shrunk by 28 percent to Sh2.7 billion, shining the spotlight on a decision to claw back revenue collection duties from the Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA).

Official data from the budget controller shows that City Hall’s internal revenue fell by Sh1.078 billion to Sh2.733 billion, undermining efforts to boost own-source revenue.
