The training is intended to aid devolved units identify and implement relevant revenue laws aimed at improving own revenue sources. “Because counties have now already identified the sources of own revenue with the most potential, they now need to urgently enhance revenue from these sources,” said Ms. Yieke. She was speaking at Strathmore University during the Specialised Revenue Enhancement Workshop. According to CRA and OCB, training on revenue enhancement would lead to formulation of laws that maximize revenue from high potential sources while providing the legal tools to enforce revenue collection. “Training key county revenue officials around revenue enhancement will grow capacity to support the emergence of the first self-sufficient county in Kenya,” said Strathmore’s Tirus Wanyoike.
