Kiambu County has reached a groundbreaking milestone by recording a total of Ksh6.5 billion in own source revenue for the 2025/2026 financial year. This achievement underscores the county’s successful efforts in revenue mobilisation and resource management.
Stronger Local Revenue Mobilisation and Governance
Governor Kimani Wamatangi officially unveiled the comprehensive revenue report, highlighting the county’s enhanced capacity to generate revenue internally. This increase in own source revenue is a testament to improved governance, transparency, and accountability in revenue collection strategies.
Such improvements are critical in ensuring sustainable development and providing adequate funding for vital county projects, including infrastructure, healthcare, and education services. The policy decisions taken by the county’s leadership have evidently paid off, setting a precedent for other counties to follow.
With a gross revenue of Ksh6.5 billion, Kiambu County is now better positioned to finance its development agenda without over-reliance on external funding or national government allocations.
Ultimately, this milestone not only reflects the effectiveness of governance reforms but also underscores the importance of sound policy implementation in driving economic growth at the county level.
