Collections from non-tax revenue sources climbed nearly two-fold in the first quarter of the current financial year, on the back of President William Ruto’s directive to parastatal chiefs to surrender surplus cash amid the increased digitalisation of payments for government services.

The receipts hit a record Sh65.32 billion in the three-month period ended September, Treasury’s monthly exchequer disclosures show, a 183 percent jump over Sh23.08 billion a year earlier.
