Committe Chairman Sylvester Oyula
A budget committee report indicates that the Busia County Government has lost Sh40 million in uncollected revenue in the last three months where county has not been able to collect levies from key revenue sources.
The report tabled in the assembly by committee chairman Sylvester Oyula stated that no single cent was collected from the mortuary, fish traders, building plans, health and liquor licensing in the second quarter of the year. Others which recorded zero revenue collection were land levies, housing rates, motor cycle fees and agriculture machinery services.
“The County Government is likely to lose over sh 82 million in uncollected revenue by end of June this year if necessary measures are not taken,” said Mr Oyula.
