Governor Natembeya summoned

Senate summons Governor Natembeya over shortfalls in the county’s revenue collection.

Trans Nzoia governor George Natembeya has been summoned to appear before the Senate Committee on ICT to shed light on the shortfalls in the county’s revenue collection.

In a meeting with Trans Nzoia county Executive on the Revenue collection systems, Nandi senator Samson Cherargei established that the county was not meeting its collection potential.

According to him, instead of collecting close to Sh 2 billion as own revenue, the county was only managing a paltry Sh 500 million.

Natembeya has been invited before the Upper House’s committee to expound on the county’s revenue collection infrastructure.

“We have directed the Governor to appear before senate on the matter of revenue system, governance, policy and under-collection,” Cherargei said.
