The campaigns negatively affected revenue collection in counties, the Commission for Revenue Collection has revealed.Out of the 47 counties, just 19 were able to generate more revenue than they did in the previous year.''We have observed that particularly during the campaigns, there were a lot of waivers, which were illegal in line with the finance laws passed by county assemblies. Governors wanted to be reelected hence they collected less money.'' Jane Kiringai, CRA chairperson said according to the Saturday Nation newspaper. The revelation comes in the wake of a debt crisis that the counties are grappling with.
