Nairobi City County recorded its highest revenue collection since the onset of devolution, hitting Sh13.8B billion for the 2024/2025 financial year.
This marks a significant jump from last year’s Sh12.8 billion an increase of Sh1 billion, underscoring the success of ongoing reforms and intensified collection efforts.
Confirming the milestone, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja acknowledged the achievement despite the political turbulence experienced in the city in recent months.
“To be honest, Sh13.8 billion this is a record since devolution. It’s up from last year’s Sh12.8 billion, a strong Sh1 billion increase.
With this momentum, we can aim even higher.
It’s possible when we all do our part as government and as citizens,” Sakaja said.
County Receiver of Revenue Tiras Njoroge attributed the growth to aggressive collection drives and enforcement actions targeting land rates and rent defaulters.
“Under the leadership of Governor Sakaja, our revenue collection drive is working.
We cannot have a city of millions being sustained by the few who pay.
Everyone must contribute.
We’re continuing enforcement on land rates, unified business permits (UBP), Nairobi Pay, house rents, and more,” said Njoroge.
