Ujingakenya...what of showing what the county has done to improve people's livelihoods? Revenue collection milestones are supposed to be fine prints in progressive communities.

Remember Kiambu has Kiambu town, Ruiru, juja, Kikuyu, wangige, Thika, parts of uthiru, gitaru,ruaka etc as major revenue collection centres. No county comes close. This is pea nuts. Imegulwa pia.

2nd or 3rd wealthiest county collecting a mere 6.5 billion ... nothing to celebrate, with so many sources eg business permits, land rates, cess, parking fees, renewals, service charges, hiring fees for public spaces ... 6.5 billion is a plank in a shipwreck

Ask what he did with the money and you'll be met with the same hospitals halls(unequipped) and incomplete markets from 2yrs ago. Lakini ukijaribu kucement ata choo kanjo wako kwa gate

All this na hospitali hakuna dawa, such a useless governor. Kiambu town itself looks like chaos, matatus picking and dropping people everywhere especially after 7pm, lorries parked on lanes of a road, no lights on roads , I can keep going. Huyu ni WANTAM

the big question is: how many revenue streams has he automated? otherwise,the collections won't be sustainable.

wamatiangi is exploiting patients in his county hospitals. That is where the bulk of the revenue comes from.

That should an obvious statistic as the county practically surrounds the capital. Infact since the UN is just a stone throw away they are reporting less. It might be a strategy to report slightly higher to not raise alarms of the real figure to plunder the rest.

When the third governor of Nakuru County took office in 2022, the county was collecting KSh 3.6 billion in Own Source Revenue (OSR). In just one year, that figure dropped to KSh 1.6 billion. A year later, it has fallen further to KSh 700 million. At the same time, Kiambu County moved in the opposite direction — doubling its OSR from KSh 2.7 billion to KSh 5.4 billion. Ironically, both county chiefs served as Senators during the same period. They understood oversight. They understood revenue law. They understood accountability. So what changed? How does a county hospital like PGH Nakuru, reportedly generating close to KSh 2 billion annually, exist in a county that now declares only KSh 700 million in total OSR? How does quarrying in Maai Mahiu, boosted by the President’s affordable housing agenda, generate an estimated KSh 1.8 billion annually, yet the county books reflect less than KSh 1 billion in total own-source revenue? This is not a small discrepancy. This is not a clerical error. This is a collapse. If revenue streams are expanding — hospital collections rising, quarry levies increasing, business activity growing — then declining OSR points to only three possibilities: • Weak systems • Massive leakage • Or deliberate sabotage of county revenue structures Nakuru is not a poor county. It is strategically located, agriculturally rich, industrially active, and commercially vibrant. A county with that profile does not shrink its revenue base unless leadership allows it. The people of Nakuru deserve answers. Where is the money going? Who is accountable? Why are services not improving while collections are allegedly happening? This is not politics. This is public finance. And if these figures are accurate, then what we are witnessing is not just underperformance — it is a betrayal of public trust. Nakuru deserves transparency. Nakuru deserves leadership. Nakuru deserves better. Sen Tabitha Karanja Keroche, MGH

My next county to review is Bomet. If you think you have seen all there is to see in terms of debauchery in government, The County Government of Bomet will get you asking for panadol. As you try to understand how a county can receive KSH 65 billion from Kenyans across the country in 11 years of devolution, but still end up a 47% poverty rate. Let me give you an idea. You start with KSH 8 billion in revenue for the year. Office of the Deputy Governor - Bomet County and the Governor there start by spending 50% of it on salaries. The county employs less than 1% of its people, but it dedicates 50% of the revenue to this tiny fraction. Now, you start chipping away at the remaining 50%. How? In astonishingly dubious benefits. Quoting the auditor: KSH 48 million in: Irregular Payment of Salaries and Personal Allowances KSH 14 million in: Illegal Special House Allowance KSH 2.5 million in: Illegal Extraneous Allowance KSH 3 million in: Illegal Special Salaries KSH 15 million in: Illegal Over Payment of Salaries KSH 119 million in: "Casual workers" who cannot be accounted for. No one knows what they did, or when they were hired, or laid off. Na hiyo, ni kionjo tu. It takes lots of effort to orchestrate this type of debauchery. It is perhaps why, quoting the auditor: Review of records revealed that ONE County Executive held one hundred and forty-eight (148) commercial bank accounts. Illegally. Stay tuned folks.
