The Commission on Revenue Authority (CRA) led by its chairperson Micah Cheserem, has called for a review of government structures within the provincial administration, to help reduce the wage bill.
Speaking in Mombasa, Cheserem said conflicting government structures in the provincial administration have led to a ballooning wage bill and unnecessary duplication of roles.
“The national government has regional coordinators, county commissioners, deputy commissioners and sub-county commissioners while the counties have ward administrators. These parallel systems should be streamlined. One must be collapsed,” he noted.
The CRA chairman was speaking during the official opening of a two-day 2nd County Revenue Automation Conference 2016.
