Nairobi County ranked the best revenue collector by the Controller of budget
Nairobi County collected the highest amount of revenue for the 2017/2018 financial year. This is contained in the Annual County Governments Budget Implementation Review Report for the 2017-2018 financial year prepared by the controller of Budget, Mrs. Agnes Odhiambo. In the report, ‘the Nairobi City County generated the highest amount of own source revenue at KShs. 10.11 billion, followed by Mombasa and Nakuru at KShs. 3.16 billion and KShs. 2.28 billion respectively. Counties that generated the lowest amount were Lamu, Tana River and Mandera at KShs. 55.29 million, KShs. 56.63 million and 61.82 million respectively.’
“Analysis of own source of revenue as a proportion of the annual revenue target indicates that three counties namely: Tana River, Migori and Kwale exceeded their targets at 188.8 per cent, 111.1 per cent and 100.5 per cent respectively. Conversely, the counties that recorded the lowest proportion of own source revenue against annual targets were Garissa at 34.7 per cent, Kisii at 27 per cent and Mandera at 26.8 per cent,” Odhiambo says, in the report.
The controller of budget authorized the release of KShs. 306.2 billion from the consolidated fund to the counties for operations during the period under review. Of the 47 counties, Nairobi got the lion share at KShs. 21.13 billion followed by Kiambu county which got KShs. 11.92 billion while, Kakamega got 10.97 billion to rank at position three. ‘The Counties that received the least amounts were: Tharaka Nithi at KShs. 3.78 billion, Isiolo at KShs. 3.76 billion and Lamu at KShs. 2.36 billion.’ The report shows that Nairobi County, Mandera County, Murang’a County and Laikipia County top in the list of counties that spent more than the total funds authorized for withdrawal by the Controller of Budget.
On development, Mandera county recorded the highest expenditure on development activities at KShs. 3.89 billion, followed by Kakamega and Kitui counties at KShs. 3.88 billion and KShs. 3.28 billion respectively. The report ranks Lamu, Vihiga and Taita Taveta counties as counties with the lowest development expenditure at Kshs. 361.27 million, Kshs. 297.47 million and 206.45 million respectively.
Nairobi county again topped in the list of counties that spent the highest amount of revenue on recurrent expenditures (like rents, salaries and bills) at Kshs. 22.36 billion followed by Kiambu and Nakuru Counties at 8.93 billion and KShs. 7.98 billion respectively. ‘The counties with the lowest expenditure on recurrent activities were: Tana River at Kshs. 2.26 billion, Isiolo at Kshs. 2.25 billion and Lamu at Kshs. 1.7 billion respectively.
The Members of County Assemblies, MCAs, received lesser sitting allowances against the approved budget allocation. The report indicates that: “The county Assemblies spent Kshs. 1.46 billion on MCAs sitting allowances against the approved budget allocation of Kshs. 2.34 billion. On average, four County Assemblies reported higher expenditure on MCAs’ sitting allowances than the monthly ceiling recommended by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission, SRC, of Kshs. 80,000. These were: Kakmega at Kshs. 124,800, Marsabit at Kshs. 120,968, Tana River at Kshs. 93,599 and Taita Taveta at Kshs. 80,760.”
The office of the Controller of Budget now says that it has identified some challenges that affected budget implementation during the financial year under review. “These challenges included: high expenditure on personal emoluments (Salaries), delay in submission of financial reports by county treasuries to the Controller of Budget, under performance of own source revenue collection, high pending bills and delay in establishment of internal audit committees,” Mrs. Odhiambo concludes.
Court of Appeal gives De La Rue green light to print new notes
The Court of Appeal has today ruled in favour of the Ksh10 billion a year tender awarded to De La Rue for printing new generation notes.
The Court of Appeal declared that the Central Bank of Kenya, CBK, ran a fair and transparent procurement process. The Court of Appeal in its ruling overturned High Court Judge George Odunga’s ruling that the tender was irregularly awarded.
The case had been filed by activist Okiya Omtatah who wanted the tender quashed citing that De La Rue should not get a 15 percent preferential treatment.
See the press release by the CBK, after today’s court ruling:
Swedish firm Crane AB was the least evaluated in price score during the bidding process and had expected the CBK to award them the lucrative tender.
Other firms interested in the multi-million contract for printing new generation notes were: Giesecke and Devrient (German), and Oberthur Fiduciaire of France

NHIF Accredited Hospitals- Western Region
Accredited Hospitals- Western Region
This comprehensive in-patient health cover has been introduced for NHIF contributors and their dependants. The actualization of this package is a culmination of continued reforms at NHIF. Such reforms include efficiency, arising from decentralization of NHIF services and continued partnership with health providers on enhanced quality services to all members. To enhance these benefits, NHIF has contracted hospitals under three Categories; A, B & C, to provide this in-patient medical cover and partial cover for surgical cases in some of these hospitals. Our members are at liberty to attend hospitals under any category.
Under Category A (government hospitals), members would be able to enjoy full and comprehensive cover for maternity and medical diseases including surgery. In short, they will not need to pay for anything on admission provided they are fully paid up members of NHIF. Members admitted under contract Category B (private and mission) hospitals will enjoy full and comprehensive cover but where surgery is required, the contributor may be required to co-pay.
Those visiting facilities contracted under Category C (private) will continue with the current system where NHIF pays specified daily benefits under the current arrangements. NHIF will continue to negotiate with other health providers not appearing in the list below to determine which category of contract they will sign. Members will be informed of additional hospitals as and when they sign the contracts.
Below is a list of Hospitals, Number of Beds and Contracts covered by NHIF in the Western Region.

Soy MP writes to Speaker proposing motion on Abolition of Senate.
Soy Member of Parliament, Caleb Kositany, has written to the Speaker of National Assembly for introduction of a Bill to ammend the Constitution to abolosh the Senate and positions of Nominated Members of Parliament.

“These positions attract a cost in excess of Kshs. 3 Billion annually which constitutes a heavy burden on the tax payer”, writes Hon. Soy in a memo sent to the Speaker of National Assembly, Mr. Muturi. This comes at the backdrop of increased taxes after the president reviewed them upwards. Read more..
