Nyandarua County has recorded an increase in its revenue collection, surpassing last year’s performance by Sh138 million, Deputy Governor Mathaara Mwangi has announced.
Speaking during the issuance of motorcycles to revenue collectors, Mwangi said the county collected Sh653 million in the 2024/25 Financial Year (FY), up from Sh515 million in the 2023/2024.
The Deputy Governor noted that the revenue growth will go a long way in boosting service delivery, as the county will have more resources to implement development projects and improve essential services for residents.
He noted that the achievement reflects the administration’s commitment to strengthening revenue systems and ensuring accountability, adding that the new motorcycles will improve the mobility of the revenue teams and tighten revenue monitoring.
His sentiments were echoed by County Executive Committee Member (CECm) for Finance, Mary Kamande, who lauded the revenue teams for their diligence and underscored the county government’s resolve to sustain reforms that will further expand the revenue base.
In July this year the Nyandarua County Assembly called upon the County Executive to urgently fast-track the full automation and integration of revenue collection systems.
The move, they said, was aimed at boosting Own Source Revenue (OSR) performance and sealing loopholes where revenue is lost.
While presenting the County Revenue Fund Annual Report and Financial Statements for the year ending June 30, 2024, Finance, Economic Planning, ICT, and Revenue Committee chairperson, Zachary Njeru, emphasised the need for modernisation of revenue administration.
