Mombasa is among counties that are set to benefit with funds from the National Treasury which are part of the fiscal responsibility allocation disbursed to counties that increased their local revenue collection.
According to the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), the Treasury will award Sh6.8 billion to 18 counties for growing revenue collection.
The commission finds out how much the counties collected and banked in the consecutive years and share it out to the counties on account of their fiscal efforts.
The funds are divided based on the amount of money collected per the population in the county.
Counties are supposed to generate revenue from property rates, parking fees, licences, rent, water and sewerage fees, entertainment taxes and service.
