Revenue collection by counties dropped by more than Sh2 billion in the nine months to March compared to a similar period last year, highlighting the impact of coronavirus disruptions on devolved units’ tax and levy collections.

Controller of Budget (CoB) data shows that the 47 devolved units raised Sh25.5 billion in the period under review, a 8.9 percent dip from Sh28 billion raised in the nine months to March last year.
