Nyamira County Governor H.E Amos Nyaribo today held a roundtable meeting with his top government officials and deliberated on how to increase revenue collection in the devolved administrative unit.
During the meeting, held at the County headquarters, Departmental Heads presented reports on how they are going to achieve targeted revenue collection in the current Financial Year.
The meeting was attended by Executive Committee Members, Chief officers and Directors from various departments.
The governor used the occasion to encourage Revenue Collecting officers to inculcate the culture of integrity among themselves as a way of increasing Financial income for the County.
He said it was sad to learn that income collected by some of the officers increased double-fold while under supervision yet it was a different state of affairs when they worked on their own.
“Corrupt revenue officers and reinforcement officers must shape up or shape out,” the Governor warned.
The County Boss stress the use of the newly introduced digitization system, saying it was the only away out to increase revenue collection in the County.
He said through the system, Departmental Heads could easily see how revenue collection was being collected by revenue officers.
The governor said such roundtable meetings with top managers of his Government will be held monthly to assess the progress of the digitization of revenue collection in the County.
